The latest versions of linux-libre (4.10.8, 4.9.20, 4.4.59) are all
hanging around this point. However, they did build in the past:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/linux-libre-4.4.59.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/linux-libre-4.9.20.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/linux-libre-4.10.8.x86_64-linux

And 4.10.7 hangs in the same way, so I think the issue is in an
unrelated change.
