It happened twice during my last guile22 build; the inconvenience is
that it stops the overnight build. Its true that this happens usually
with cmake, though. All threads were waiting in ___lwp_park60 as
follows:

Thread 2 (LWP 2975 of process 21980 "GC-marker-5"):
#0  0x000070b8252b1efa in ___lwp_park60 () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12

#6  0x0000000000200000 in ?? ()
#7  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

With cmake hanging there usually was one thread waiting elsewhere.
