As seen in https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24069 this code will typically wait4() a second time on the same process that was already wait4()'d a few lines above. While this used to be harmless/idempotent (when we assumed that the process already exited), this now causes a deadlock in the WIFSTOPPED case. The early (~2019) history of bug #24069 cautiously suggests to use WNOHANG instead of outright deleting the call. However, tests on the current version of Darwin (Big Sur) demonstrate that gdb runs just fine without a redundant call to wait4(), as would be expected. Notwithstanding the debatable value of conserving bug compatibility with an OS release that is more than a decade old, there is scant evidence of what that double-wait4() was supposed to achieve in the first place - A cursory investigation with `git blame` pinpoints commits bb00b29d7802 and a80b95ba67e2 from the 2008-2009 era, but fails to answer the "why" question conclusively.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
