Description
The builds of the hyperswitch project hang for 120 minutes without any output on arm64.
This triggers the "runaway build" error in the FreeBSD package builder.
The Rust compiler should periodically print progress reports if/when it works on something for too long and no other printouts are occurring.
All recent rust versions are affected.

Research direction
Start with the linked FreeBSD arm64 build log and reproduce the hyperswitch build on arm64 using a recent Rust version. Trace where the compiler stops producing output during the build and determine how progress reports should be emitted. Done means long-running compiler work produces periodic output and the build no longer triggers the runaway-build timeout.
