[SOLVED] makepkg tends to hang indefinitely when building

Question

I'm not that new to arch.  I'm currently installing arch via VB on MBP.
The makepkg command is hanging indefinitely when I'm trying to make multiple packages -- specifically cower and package-query
I get something like the following:
==> Creating package "cower"...
And then it hangs indefinitely.  I've waited like 10 minutes.  The same result occurred with package-query.
Is there anything I can do to debug this problem?

Sorry VB = virtual box
MBP=MacBook Pro
Just installed everything this morning
I looked at the strace call.  I'm not finding much.  Here is some output:
