I have a nice new 64-bit Windows 8 laptop.  But when I say

                make –j2

then it launches a couple processes (which I think complete fine) and then locks up with ‘make’ consuming 25-35% of a CPU, but nothing happening.  No further activity for 30 mins.

This is msys ‘make’, version 3.81, which worked fine on my old (32-bit) laptop.

Things work ok without –j.  But validate uses –j (how to disable that?).

Does anyone have a clue about how I might find out what is going on?  I don’t think msys has ‘strace’.

Thanks

Simon
