Indeed, even the slowest tests should give some output at least once
a minute or so. The test that hangs is the one after msgen-3, namely
msgexec-1. Can you please
  1) look with "ps aux" or "ps -elf" which process is hanging for so
     long (probably a msgexec and another one) and which of the two
     has burnt or is burning a lot of CPU time?
  2) give some details about the configuration command line, compiler,
     optimisation flags etc. so that I have a chance to reproduce?
