Get "Bad system call" when compiling a Cython module #154

Open Techcable opened 3 years ago

Techcable commented 3 years ago

Cython is a DSL for writing native python extension modules.

Running "cython" seems to fail with a "bad system call" message during the cython -> C translation. If I run with a manual makepkg this problem doesn't exist and everything works fine, so it must have something to do with the process-jail.

Here are some AUR packages that trigger the issue:

  1. python-scikit-image
  2. python-pywavlet

Thanks for your time! :smile:

Hi @Techcable! I'm a bit uncertain myself on what to do here. Seems that there are some packages, even though rare, that require syscalls that could otherwise be considered as dangerous / strange to have in a build. Possibly the situation will improve if the syscall list could be altered or temporarily ignored.

Would e.g. building an ignore flag be something you'd consider contributing?
