Compilation stuck at test_faulthandler under Profile Guided Optimization

[Shellcat-Zero]

Compilation has been running for 48+ hours, using the main-slp branch, commit 677b36f. It appears to still be running, by way of 100% CPU usage for the build process, but it has not progressed past the test_faulthandler step, so I was wondering if this kind of build time is expected when running the make command after ./configure --enable-optimizations. Thanks.

Hello there.
As you may have noticed, this project is not really being actively maintained at the moment.
However, I would say that this kind of compilation time is not expected.
On the other hand, the compilation and PGO steps are all just regular standard python, running standard (non stackless) steps, ... sounds like the "test_faulthandler" unittest is simply hanging... No idea why or if it is a stackless case.
