Xorg taking too long to build on imac G5

I have installed FreeBSD onto an imac G5 20” (using
FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso) and have started
building xorg from source.
I used “make install” with ‘BATCH=yes’ to install the standard options
and avoid halts in the build process.
However, the build process has been running now for 106 hours and is
still running! My questions are:
1) Has the build process somehow got into a loop (is it possible to test
for this?) and should I terminate the build?
2) If yes, what precautions can I take to avoid a repetition?
I have spent some time looked through the forum and mailing lists but
have been unable to find answers so any suggestions or pointers to
existing solutions would be welcomed.
