This is taking longer than we expected.

Walking though the run.py output we can see that run.py successfully
downloads the tarballs, builds bjam, configures python then no further
output exist in the log file:
...
    notice: [python-cfg]   include path:
"/usr/local/bin/../python/include/python2.4"
     notice: [python-cfg]   library path:
"/usr/local/bin/../python/lib/python2.4/config"
"/usr/local/bin/../python/lib"

In a successful run from sometime ago we can see the next step is kicking
off bjam to build process_jam_log:

     ...patience...
     ...found 490 targets...
     ...updating 25 targets...
     common.mkdir bin

but this does not show up.

bjam appears fine, I can use the bjam with no issues trying to rule out a
bad build of bjam.  It would be helpful if we can get some additional
tracing from regression.py.  Is this possible?  Any ideas?
