I've been updating master every three or four days, and over the past
week (more?) feel like I've been getting a lot of inexplicable hangs.
They last as long as five or six seconds, but I can usually quit out of
them. I started running with debug on quit as a matter of course, and
just managed to kill one of them, and got:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
  redisplay_internal\ \(C\ function\)()

That's all that was in *Backtrace*.

I'm on Arch Linux, and haven't done anything special to the build
process. I know this isn't very helpful, but maybe I can track down
something more.

Thanks,
Eric

Run Emacs under GDB, and when Emacs habgs, stop it with SIGTSTP, as explained in etc/DEBUG.  Then get a more informative backtrace with the GDB's "bt" command.  Be sure to invoke GDB from the src directory, so that it will also show the Lisp backtrace.

Will do. Hopefully I'll report back in a day or so with something
useful.

Thanks,

And, of course, it never happened again. At least I know what to do now
if it does.

I've experienced those too! I am on RHEL 6.8.

I think it happened 3-4 times in the last two days. But it would happen
when I'm deep in some work, and I'd just frantically C-g out of it.

Let me see if I can get a useful gdb backtrace as well.
