I regularly get a locked up make on my i686 machine when trying to build
from source, so this does not seem that unlikely to me.  What seems to
happen in my case is there are two make subprocesses, both taking little
CPU time and both with a D status in htop.  I've basically given up
trying to build Guix from source on i686 because of bugs like this.
