        lpsolve deliver is usually rather quick. I suspect you're taking a hit
from the next 'make'.

        Odd; so presuambly it's blocked on I/O ... (?)

        I wonder if you're blocked on a make in 'tail_build' which has to
collect together quite a lot of data before it can make any decision;
try:

        make tail_build

        And without an up-to-date gnumake (which is sadly not released) that
can be a bit over-slow.

        It'd be great to do a ps auwwwx and see what the full commandline of
whichever the leaf node in the process tree is (use pstree I guess to
find that pid).

        Thanks !

                Michael.
