This problem turned out to be a duplicate of gnu/8138 and
gnu/12122, both of which are still open:  When compiling
.s (assembly) with the -pipe option to cc, cc passes
an extra - to as, causing it to hang waiting for input
from stdin.  Workaround is to CTRL-D the hanging process.
Problem is that it is often not at all obvious this is 
required.  The t1lib instance of this problem is hidden
deep inside a configure script, for example.
