Subject: Backport 45338:
X-Git-Tag: v2.4.4c1~265
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5319074f47d9ac0b08b4441151e512e5a0cb9d0d;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Backport 45338:
test_compile can be really long if we are using -u compiler.
This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.

We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.
