Thanks for your quick reply.

When running

make bin-i386-linux/tests.linux

I run in an endless loop when building the dependencies. I also
tried a fresh checkout:

   [DEPS] <lots of other files>
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_timer.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_entropy.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_time.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_smbios.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_umalloc.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_nap.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_pci.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_console.c
   [DEPS] arch/i386/core/linux/linuxprefix.S
   [DEPS] arch/x86/core/linux/linux_api.c
   [DEPS] arch/x86/core/linux/linux_strerror.c
   [DEPS] drivers/linux/af_packet.c
   [DEPS] drivers/linux/tap.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_timer.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_entropy.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_time.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_smbios.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_umalloc.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_nap.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_pci.c
   [DEPS] interface/linux/linux_console.c

(deps linux_console.c takes a little bit longer).

My build environment is the one from Ubuntu 16.04:

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a quick way to fix this?

make bin-x86_64-linux/tests.linux

works perfect.

That absolutely makes sense to me ;)

Thanks a lot,
