I'm currently in my third fresh build of chapter 6, and the problem is spreading: m4 tests hung on test_rwlock (it's part of gnulib, so probably in other packages) but on a second attempt they wizzed through like they normally do. Got to gettext, the first two attempts hung here, but the third is continuing. Not a showstopper, but annoying.
