Hi,

the conf utility hangs on several architectures such as sparc64 during build [1][2][3]:

make[4]: Leaving directory '/build/reproducible-path/linux-7.1.9/debian/build/build_sparc64_none_sparc64'

Attaching strace shows the same string written over and over again:

write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
write(1, "\n        EROFS LZMA default maxi"..., 108) = 108
