I've previously seen builds using xcodebuild in particular hanging after
they were apparently done. In the cases I've seen so far xcodebuild
eventually terminated itself after quite a bit of time.

Did you try sending the kill signal to the xcodebuild process only, or
was that already terminated at this point?
