It has been hanging for some time but I hadn't debugged it until now. 
It's caused by a missing dependency that causes bios-tables-test to fail 
(badly).  It's plausible that the meson upgrade triggered a different 
build ordering for make/ninja, and made it hang for you as well.

There was also a related bug that caused the test to hang if bzip2 was 
not available.
