I tend to compare cross-build failures to native-build attempts. The
multimedia-gstreamer1-qt@qt5 hang-up was qemu-arm-static specific,
not occurring native. That and being reliable about hanging-up is
what prompted the investigation.

The lld thread fanout hangup also has only happened under
qemu-arm-static but I do not have a context with more than 4 cores for
armv7: far less than 28 (FreeBSD under Hyper-V) or 32 cpus (FreeBSD
native) that I use for cross-builds.

I do not know if you care to but it is possible to see if the FreeBSD
package builders get failures or hangs for the same ports. I use
head port build examples below:

http://beefy16.nyi.freebsd.org/jail.html?mastername=3Dhead-armv7-default

http://beefy8.nyi.freebsd.org/jail.html?mastername=3Dhead-armv6-default

The pages displayed show a list of port version (p??????) and freebsd
version (s??????) looking like p??????_s?????? . Those links take you
to pages for exploring the built, failed, skipped, and ignored
ports.

Of course, for race-condition problems in builds, checking is messier
because of needing to look at possibly many port/system combinations.

My attempts to build x11/lumina fail for:

Native build attempts on an armv7 get the same.

But I'm still at:

# svnlite info | grep "Re[plv]"
Relative URL: ^/head

Repository UUID: ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f

because I froze at that while investigating the reliable hang and
have not started progressing again yet. Last I looked the
head-armv7-default package builds were also failing for libvpx if
I remember right.
