Follow-up Comment #3:

A clean build on one machine bypasses this problem, but took 11 hours:

This default includes gnuastro in TARGETS.conf .

The literal interpretation of the timestamps is that _isl_ took 10 hours to
compile, which seems ridiculous! This timing is not quite accurate, since the
compilations are done in parallel. But to me this sounds like something is
wrong with the compilation, apparently with _isl_ =
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Integers.html Maybe a
closed loop of dependencies which in the end is broken by a random event?

I'm trying fresh builds of earlier commits. Commit 8266607 does _not_ block at
_isl_ .

It's unclear if this 10-hour compile of _isl_ is related to the original bug
report, but for the moment I think we can keep this as one bug, but I'm
downgrading from _blocker_ to _normal_ . A 10-hour compilation is most likely
a waste of cpu time, but it doesn't literally block compilation.
