Personally, I have to agree with your sentiment. My team recently switched
to CodeWarrior after dealing with the (incredibly) buggy 1.1 and the
somewhat better 1.2.

However, to the point, I've seen your problem (or one like it) several
times. In my particular case, I solved it by shutting off the distributed
builds. Run top, and see if you have a process or two spinning like crazy
and eating a bunch of CPU. In my case, it was the distCC process or
something like that (it's been a long time!) Kill it, and you should be OK
for a while. Sometimes it would take a week for the problem to recur,
sometimes it would recur immediately.

Also, shutting off predictive compilation helped. At least I didn't see any
more of those errors. Perhaps it was a timing thing? Who knows.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Xcode won't compile ANYTHING for me anymore. I tried doing "Clean All",
but no change.

When I try "Build", it makes no progress, it starts compiling but never
gets anywhere. A 1-line file took 30 mins and it was STILL doing
nothing.

It all happened in a sudden, I didn't fiddle with any command line
stuff or any target settings, I was just debugging some code, when
building stopped working.

This is really ridiculous, Xcode has got to be the buggiest MacOSX
program I've ever used. Is Apple using a special version of Xcode? How
does Apple do it's development? I find it hard to see how they could
make the great products they do, with a software that has critical
flaws magically appear every few days. Probably they are using other
tools to do their development, or doing it from the command-line
even...
