I'd noticed that the etcupdate part of my build procedure has been taking
much time. So I looked with a ps -axldww while it was going on. An
example was:
`-- /bin/sh /usr/sbin/etcupdate -D/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/main-CA7-chroot -s
/usr/main-src -M TARGET_ARCH=armv7
`-- make TARGET_ARCH=armv7 -DNO_FILEMON buildetc
`-- make -m /usr/main-src/share/mk -f Makefile.inc1 TARGET=arm
TARGET_ARCH=armv7 buildetc
`-- make -f Makefile.inc1 _bootstrap-tools MK_CROSS_COMPILER=no
MK_TOOLCHAIN=no
. . .
`-- /bin/sh -e -c echo "===> usr.bin/dtc (obj,all,install)"; cd
/usr/main-src/usr.bin/dtc;. . . install
`-- make DIRPRFX=usr.bin/dtc/ all
`-- c++ -O2 -pipe -fno-common -DNDEBUG . . . -c
/usr/main-src/usr.bin/dtc/fdt.cc -o fdt.o
More may build. This is just what was present
when I happened to look.
Seems an odd thing to be happening for an etcupdate .
I'll note that aarch64 targeting aarch64 (self hosted
build) also spends notable time and is likely doing
similarly.
