I tried this on porterbox abel and reproduced the issue. However I failed to
completely understand it.

It looks like it hangs when running ld.bfd. Indeed when pressing ctrl+z I got:

when fg and then ctrl+c it seems to resume.

I also recompiled lazbuild to get debug symbols, but then I do not have the
issue anymore. I even stripped the newly build binary and did not have the
issue.

So maybe we need just to rebuild again?
