It’s not the same platform, but there is [this report](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/cmake-hung-while-compiling-libical/3018). I doubt it’s exactly related, but they sound similar at least…

That said, I don’t know much about debugging this kind of stuff on Windows. I would suggest Process Monitor to see what the last thing performed was at least. Next best would be to use some `strace`-like utility to see where it is hung. Maybe you can get a debugger attached?
