Can you show the config.log, especially the portion where it is checking for dup2 and fcntl POSIX compliance?

If you compiled with debugging, then it might help to show a gdb session of rpl_fcntl in lib/fcntl.c while stepping enough to prove the loop, as well as a backtrace that leads to that loop, might be worthwhile. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
