I wonder whether this relates to the problem I have seen from time to time, where the build process "goes to sleep" around two minutes into building HOL. It's reproducible enough that I can feel confident that HOL will build only when the activity monitor shows that the process has consumed at least three minutes of CPU time. But I haven't seen it for a couple of weeks.
I am (currently) running macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 but there may have been an OS update during that time. It may be worth updating your system and trying again.
