    Looking over the messages again, I realized that I should have tried

      <pre wrap="">Yeah, unfortunately, there is some known nonsensical problem with
finding Xmu.  I can't debug extensively right now, but if you run
  Build --disable-pdfopen 
(assuming you don't care about it) it should avoid building that program
and hopefully it will finish.</pre>

    Well, I've never heard of pdfopen, but then, I don't know most of
    the commands in this new world I'm stepping into.  So I'm willing to
    assume I don't need it.<br>

    Murphy's law - I tried it once in the foreground and the connection
    timed out, but when I ran it in the background my connection stayed
