Hi,

The newly uploaded (to experimental) version 1.8.0 uses an internal
crypto engine instead of libgcrypt.  It reads from /dev/urandom instead
of using libgcrypt.  I believe libgcrypt initialize its RNG pool from
/dev/random.  Thus, I would expect that this problem goes away with
1.8.0 assuming your build hosts has a working /dev/urandom.
