Here is where the hang is. this is normal, as, for the time being, "make" triggers re-scanning of the documentation directory by Meson (the building backend), which isn't fast (that's 15 years of technical debt sitting there, Sage's documenation building system is rather non-standard now). If you did "./configure --disable-doc" (not to build documentation in html/pdf), then "make" will be much faster, as the latter bottleneck is then avoided. Thanks a lot! I did that and it worked!
