Hmm, maybe mkdir call failed before cd. We are just cd'ing into a directory that was just created.

So not sure why this failed, maybe it was just one off error that is not reproducible...

i have seen this during last mass-run 3 times...strange!

[stikonas]

Hmm, so it's not one off. The code that fails is here: https://github.com/fosslinux/live-bootstrap/blob/9f83e1213ea65cf6f2687c0c789b969cdf4cb93a/sysa/gcc-4.0.4/pass1.sh#L72

I'm not sure what we can do. Since we run with set -e that means mkdir returned with exit code 0. So I'm puzzled why cd fails. Any ideas?

[bittorf]

i will overload with an mkdir() function which always makes a sync, lets see if this helps

[stikonas]

We haven't seen this recently, maybe fixed?
