I now see that gfortran 10 also takes a very long time to build. It’s on kreuzberg (10.0.0.9) and I see that out of the 16 cores only *one* is really busy. Other cores sometimes come in with a tiny bit of work, but you might miss it if you blink. Guix ran “make -j 16” at the top level, but the other make processes that have been spawned as children do not have “-j 16”. There are probably 16 or so invocations of cc1plus, but only CPU0 seems to be busy at 100% while the others are at 0. What’s up with that? -- Ricardo
