rebuilding systemd in armhf chroot

[Falk Niebuhr]

Hi,

for a Debian Jessie based ARM device I try to rebuild the systemd package
from the backports.
Unfortunately this does not work, the build never ends and hangs.

My build environment is:
- A Debian 8 armhf chroot.
- I set up the chroot with debootstrap on an Debian 8 AMD64.
- Added jessie-backports to sources-list.
- Run apt-get update.

For the build I did the follwoing steps:
- set up the chroot image
- apt-get -t jessie-backports source systemd
- apt-get -t jessie-backports build-dep systemd
- cd systemd-230
 -time DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=8" dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -tc

This build runs overnight but never stops, it shows some FAILs and hangs
after the passed test-dhcp-option.

The last ouput:
/usr/bin/make --no-print-directory check-recursive
Making check in .
/usr/bin/make --no-print-directory  test/sys
rm -rf test/sys
/bin/mkdir -p test/
tar -C test/ -xJf ../test/sys.tar.xz
touch test/sys
/usr/bin/make --no-print-directory check-TESTS

I did a first package rebuilding in this chroot with less. I only wanted
to test if this works and I could rebuild the less package in this chroot.

Do I have to take care of something special to rebuild systemd?
Do I have to disable the tests?

I could provide a much bigger log, generated with tee, but this log has
over 6000 lines and this is too much paste.debian.net.

Best regards
