[The historical notes are removed and replaced by partial trace
information from example hang-ups, not that I've figured out
what contributes yet.]

I ran into the following while trying to get evidence
about the hang-up for an amd64->armv7 cross-build of
multimedia/gstreamer1-qt@qt5 .

The following from trying to get evidence for the hang-up
via a manual run of "make multimedia/gstreamer1-qt FLAVOR=3Dqt5=E2=80=9D
in a poudriere bulk -i=E2=80=99s interactive mode for the context
that has the hang-up in normal poudriere-devel runs.

I had made a qemu-user-static that enabled do_strace when
it is used to run cmake or ninja.

The only do_strace lines from qemu-arm-static running cmake
or ninja mentioning process 14528 are included in the sequence:

The vfork then close(6) sequence for 82400 vs. the later
use of 6 in dup2 in 82401 may be rather odd. But it looks
like qemu-*-static uses do_freebsd_fork to implement
do_freebsd_vfork, despite reporting vfork before
calling do_freebsd_vfork. (Does the close(6) appear to
indicate a race for native operation of ninja for the
period when the address space is shared?)

Ninja has Subprocess::Start code that has:

#ifdef POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK
  flags |=3D POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK;
#endif


  if (posix_spawnattr_setflags(&attr, flags) !=3D 0)
    Fatal("posix_spawnattr_setflags: %s", strerror(errno));

  const char* spawned_args[] =3D { "/bin/sh", "-c", command.c_str(), =
NULL };
  if (posix_spawn(&pid_, "/bin/sh", &action, &attr,
                  const_cast<char**>(spawned_args), environ) !=3D 0)
    Fatal("posix_spawn: %s", strerror(errno));

that is in use here. I think that this explains the vfork use.


It turns out that putting the hung-up build in the background
and then killing 82401 with the likes of kill -6 leads to more
output that had apparently been buffered. It shows the use of
the (amd64 native) /bin/sh that in turn leads to
/usr/local/bin/cmake via qemu-arm-static. /bin/sh, being
native, gets no do_strace output from qemu-arm-static.

Via another experiment ninja was at the time waiting
