Compiler hangs when I include Gadfly

[ViralBShah]

Continuing from #22334 I am using a more complex script into a shared library. The only addition here is including Gadfly, without which it builds fine - but hangs when I add Gadfly.

module mystuff

using Gadfly
using Distributions
f() = rand(Normal())

Base.@ccallable Float64 function julia_main()
   println("hello, world")
   @show f()
end

end

#using mystuff
#mystuff.julia_main()

The compilation counter hangs, and happens unpredictably. It makes a different amount of progress on every run.

This is the session and the stacktrace when I hit Ctrl-C. The stacktrace almost always appears to be similar, even though the performance made is variable. I can tell because the number of methods compiled is printed over the course of the compilation.

Would having a smaller test case than Gadfly help here? Perhaps @mdpradeep can help narrow it down.

No, having the whole package to exercise assorted code paths is valuable
