Comment:

 Are you sure it's hung? That file will take a comparatively long time to
 compile, especially as it's being compiled for profiling. If you are low
 on memory then it is also likely that that file is causing your machine to
 swap, and thus taking even longer.

 What does the output of `free` and `top -n 1` look like when it has hung?
