Something has changed in the last several month such that when buildman builds U-Boot incrementally and a new CONFIG option has been added to the Kconfig, the build hanges waiting for input:
Test new config (NEW_CONFIG) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Since binamn does not connect the build's stdin to anything this waits on stdin to the build thread, which never comes. Eventually I suspect all the threads end up in this state and the build does not progress.
Fix this by passing /dev/null as input to the build. That way, if there is a new CONFIG, the build will stop (and fail):
Test new config (NEW_CONFIG) [N/y/?] (NEW)
Error in reading or end of file.
