When I last tried to update to the 1.8.2 branch however the process stalled out during build. It doesn't fail with an error message, it simply reaches a point and then stops making any progress, CPU usage goes to zero, and it'll hang there indefinitely until halted.

Do you know the exact command that hangs? You don't have anything in your path or otherwise accessible to the build procedure that could cause interference (say in /usr/local)?
