Comment 28 for bug 1956852

I'm continuing to try to compile on termux. I haven't been successful with the latest version that I've tried so far (2.2.10.128-c6465a4de). As also noted on https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/1972063,
the compilation of the contrib packages fails to compile with errors like:

//entering make-target-contrib.sh

I finally figured out that make-target-contrib.sh can be used to compile the contrib packages without recompiling the whole code. Then, found out that this step was failing:
../..//src/runtime/sbcl --noinform --core ../..//output/sbcl.core --lose-on-corruption --disable-debugger --no-sysinit --no-userinit --load ../make-contrib.lisp "sb-posix" </dev/null

I added print outs in make-contrib.lisp and found out that in the function run-defs-to-lisp, the invocation to RUN-C-COMPILER was not returning 0, but saying that the process signaled with code 31.

I was able to create a test case where I compile a very simple c program:
(sb-ext:process-exit-code (sb-ext:run-program "gcc" (list "a.c") :search t :input nil :output t))

where a.c was just:
int main (void) { return 0; }

With the last sbcl version that I had working, I was getting exit code zero. But with the compiled sbcl above, I was getting process signaled with error code 31.

Any suggestions as to where to start looking for debugging this issue?
