The above lines seem to come from the test suite QEMU, so what you’re
observing here is QEMU’s test suite hanging.

You’d have to find out which of the qemu* packages we provide is
failing.  On x86_64-linux, they build fine AFAIK:

  https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/qemu-2.7.0.x86_64-linux
  https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/qemu-minimal-2.7.0.x86_64-linux
  https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/grub-2.02beta3.x86_64-linux (for 1.3)

TIA,
Ludo’.
