I do see a progress output while meson is generating build.ninja (i.e. ninja's makefile), and it took about 230 seconds of wallclock time. (Often it's much faster, but major rebuilds, when you touched configure.ac and what not, are like this)

That's of course a constraint satisfaction problem to find the targets to rebuild, and it's not a very easy one. I actually don't know what these almost 1700 dependencies are. Are they the sage-distro dependencies, or only sagelib? Once build.ninja is generated, things move quite fast in general.
