Interrupting after an hour is a bit too soon to say it's stuck. 
Just from experience, many backup programmes tend to have long 
test suites (a trait which they share with many databases and 
compressors, probably because they're a bit of both).  The build 
was chugging along.  What did the log say was happening?

What is strange here is that you didn't get a substitute for Borg. 
I did[0].  Are you deliberately building Borg locally?

Kind regards,
