Re: python configure.py never exiting when building firefox

[Chavdar Ivanov <ci4ic4%gmail.com@localhost>]

For all its worth, I just built thunderbird-60.7.1 under yersterday's
-current amd64 with MAKE_JOBS=8 with no problem. But then the laptop I
used has 20GB memory, the CPU shows as
cpu0: "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820QM CPU @ 2.70GHz"
cpu0: Intel Xeon E3-1200v2 and 3rd gen core, Ivy Bridge (686-class),
2694.06 MHz.

I haven't had a problem building the highest versions of both firefox
or thunderbird lately, but I usually am not bothered about speed, so I
normally do not have MAKE_JOBS=8 in /etc/mk.conf; with it the
temperatures of the CPUs were all 100C+/-3C, which I try to avoid. I
would say also, that the last perhaps three months they have been very
reliable for me. I only get consistent core dumps from firefox when I
use WebGL, but then this happens with almost every 3D accelerated
program, in the intel 915 support library, only upon exit.

I noticed today that thunderbird also uses rust during the build; I
had the latest one  - 1.35 - installed as well, if that matters.
Python is 3.7.3, although there is also 2.7.16 and 3.6.8, I haven't
checked which one is used by the build procedure.
