Is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? [SOLVED]

As the title says, is anyone using testing seeing compiler lock-ups? I've been seeing them for about two or three days. Sometimes the system will hang for a few seconds at "Starting make" with 100% CPU usage, then will continue normally. Other times it will stop in the middle of compiling and CPU usage will drop to 0. Also, I've been seeing small hang ups with patches. Maybe four or five seconds when simple patches are being applied. Bringing MAKEFLAGS down to the default 2 from 3 seems to help a tiny bit.

Haven't noticed anything (and have compiled a bunch of stuff last few days)

I have lock-ups with last update of fakeroot (1.12..2) but after downgrade all goes as usual.

Same here. Fakeroot (and along with it make, cmake and even sh) randomly zombify.

fakeroot would put it in the right time frame. I linked to your bug report Anarconda as it seems like the same problem. As always if anyone has anything to add, please do:

I can confirm: downgrading fakeroot to the version in [core] solves the problem.

Man, I don't read arch-dev for one day and I miss this. Downgrading fakeroot does work, and this is being looked at.
