Subject: test_compile can be really long if we are using -u compiler.
X-Git-Tag: v2.5a2~280
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=07c60717296ab8228b4a4e46d5e6fb163965a181;p=python

test_compile can be really long if we are using -u compiler.
This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.

We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.

Will backport.
