Comment (by simonmar):

 Getting a stack trace would probably help.  You want to make sure that GHC
 itself is built with `-debug`: set `GhcDebugged=YES` in your build.mk
 (this will slow down the build, but you can remove it later).  When the
 process hangs, attach to it with gdb and get a backtrace of all the
 threads.
