Not sure if I should report this on JuliaLang issues or here. But on a complete clean install of Julia 0.7-rc1.5, attempting to `(v0.7) pkg> add SpecialFunctions` will get to the build step and never return. Build log file remains empty. Attached also interrupt stack trace. Below run is with JULIA\_SPECIALFUNCTIONS\_BUILD\_SOURCE = true, but that seems to make no difference.

Please do open an issue. Similar problem in CMakeWrappers, it seems: [Build consistently timing out with Julia nightly on Linux · Issue #14 · JuliaPackaging/CMakeWrapper.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/CMakeWrapper.jl/issues/14).
