As I'm using bulkbuild, I added:

export MAKE_STACK_TRACE=yes

at the end of my <sandbox>/usr/pbulk/etc/pbulk.conf file but I
don't see any difference in the chromium-147.0.7727.137/build.log

I might be doing something wrong...

With those changes (not sure if the .info are in the right
place):

Can I do anything else to help?
