- If building for amd64/x86_64/x64, sometimes the compilation of sources may seem to hang, which
is caused by an optimization issue in the 2008 x64 compiler. You need to use Task Manager to
remove all running instances of `cl.exe`, which will cause the build process to terminate. Update
the build flags of the sources that hang on compilation by changing its `"/O2"` flag to `"/O1"`
in `build.ninja`, and retry the build, where things should continue to build normally. At the
time of writing, this is needed for compiling `glib/gtestutils.c`, `gio/gsettings.c`,
`gio/gsettingsschema.c` and `gio/tests/gsubprocess-testprog.c`
