Same problem, no errors. Simply stop and does nothing. (the terminal is busy of course, but can continue using it doing a Crtl+c two times). No CPU use...

mono-debugger-0.6 needs monodoc(see bug 46586), have you tried emerging mono-debugger with monodoc installed?
monodoc is installed, so that's not the problem

A workaround for now is to wait for it to stall then kill the conftest process (with kill -9) - the make then continues and merges seemingly OK (not tested yet). Also note the following: # ll /proc/7080 total 0 dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Apr 30 17:53 ./ dr-xr-xr-x 208 root root 0 Apr 29 13:38 ../ -r-------- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 auxv -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 17:53 cmdline lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 cwd -> /var/tmp/portage/mono-debugger-0.6/work/mono-debugger-0.6/ -r-------- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 environ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 exe -> /var/tmp/portage/mono-debugger-0.6/work/mono-debugger-0.6/conftest (deleted) dr-x------ 2 root root 0 Apr 30 17:58 fd/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 maps -rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 mem -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 root -> // -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 17:58 stat -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 statm -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 17:53 status dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 task/ -r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 30 18:01 wchan The actual conftest executable has been deleted, which is possibly the cause of the problem.
More info: this is NPTL only.
I believe I understand the problem. The configure script contains an AC_RUN_IFELSE to check for NPTL support. I attach this conftest (C source) as a testcase. If run with stdout as a pipe: $ gcc -lpthread -o conftest conftest.c conftest.c: In function `main': conftest.c:44: warning: passing arg 3 of `pthread_create' from incompatible pointer type $ ./conftest | cat OK although conftest returns (test with: ( ./conftest; echo "Done" ) | cat) the child process is still in existence so the shell does not resume. In the case of the mono-debugger ebuild, stdout is a pipe to tee if portage logging is enabled. This means that econf runs, emake runs, but then ebuild.sh does not exit and return control to ebuild for the src_install stage. Note that if conftest is run with stdout as a terminal or a > redirection then the child process terminates correctly. I do not begin to understand why this is. This provides a number of possible solutions: 1. Disable portage logging for this ebuild 2. Redirect output of configure to /dev/null These are not particularly attractive. 3. Patch the NPTL AC_RUN_IFELSE conftest to kill the child process, with signal 9 This is easy to do and a patch can be applied to configure as well as configure.in, so running autoconf will not be necessary. I will attach the requisite patch.

Marking WONTFIX. The debugger is package.masked until a new release which will hopefully not be as buggy/broken.
