Since fork can't ever return EINVAL, and since some of the other
messages from make are garbled (there's a control-A in there) I'm
inclined to blame make, bash, or your source tree instead of libc.
Also, what the hell are you doing compiling things as root? The
Makefiles expect that you are an unprivileged user except for the
installation targets.
I'd try:
- Check versions of bash and make. I have
ii bash 2.02.1-1.4 The GNU Bourne Again SHell
ii make 3.77-6 The GNU version of the "make" utility.
- Nuke your source tree. Download a clean copy of 2.2.5.
- Run `make mrproper' to ensure no stray files. If the problem hasn't
been fixed, it will recur at this point.
- Now try to compile again.
