icu rebuild of firefox failure

[pjp]

This is on a build host in a chroot for a laptop.

I first did a rebuild of whatever icu wanted with firefox deselected from world (to avoid rebuilding it and nodejs at the same time).

After that, I then rebuilt nodejs using --oneshot. That went fine. To rebuild firefox, I used my normal update @world command.

This seemed notable:

Well, assuming the fact other people were able to build the same firefox and looks like clang crashed with a stack trace, something going on with your clang. Does it crash in the same place each time if you just rerun it (save your old build for reference) - checked for hardware issues?

Is there a specific reason why you compiled icu and nodejs separately, though it shouldn't matter, they may pick up older deps that weren't absolutely necessary. Agreed it should be safe. I don't think I've had issues building nodejs with anything else at the same time, it's the qtwebengine thing that needs to run by itself...

I'm trying to rebuild it again now. I'm not sure how long it took before failure.

It indeed could be hardware. I have suspected possible heat issues in the past, but haven't ruled out memory. In the past, I've only seen "internal compiler error", but maybe that was only from gcc and not clang.

Reducing from -j3 to -j1 for bigger packages has helped. gcc, clang, firefox and nodejs off the top of my head. I've been using -j2 for firefox for a while without issues, so it seemed odd that it happened on a rebuild due to icu change and not a new firefox version.

The possible heat issue is why I try to limit how many large packages get built at any given time. From the output of which packages icu was causing a rebuild, they've all been rebuilt except firefox. I only mentioned just in case.

I'll update when it fails or completes. I'll see about scheduling a memtest. I guess I could do that overnight sometime.

Since you're chrooting, I assume the machine you're using to build is a desktop or larger system? If so it's worth to resolve overheating issues...I'd be kind of upset if I can't use all cores on a cpu full tilt on a desktop -- Your X4 has 16GB RAM and that would make me mad if I couldn't run all 4 cores at the same time. My i7-2700k is actually on the borderline, it reaches 90°C when running on all 4 cores 8 threads but that's fine, at least it doesn't crash or give ICEs.

Yeah Internal Compiler Error is a gcc thing. Clang gives a more useful stack trace it appears, but I can't make heads or tails out of it.
