submit a pr.  What I've done when I notice something getting stuck in
a bulk build is I kill off the particular command which is stuck (often
times c++).  This usually marks that package as broken and continues.

You can also always do

./mk/bulk/build restart

to pick up a bulk build from where it left off.  It keeps a state in
a couple of files to help with this.  Definitely needed when my pmax
was taking 2 months....

You can also "pre-break" certain packages that you know will cause
a bulk build to hang.  grep for pre-build.local in pkgsrc/Packages.txt

Yes.  When its done can you put the output logs up for http or ftp
access?
