I can reproduce it. It stuck on generating ABI report

I don't think the problem is about symbolic links, the package is succesfully built if you disable abi report (--disable-abi-report). The problem is the resulting binary doesn't have suitable permission. Most likely abi-report chokes on analyzing non-executable files.
