I accidentally discovered while working on bug 1429875 that builds don't fail on try when link.py isn't used to wrap the linker. Tracking the link.py output script to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=915735#c41 (thanks to glandium), it seems notable linking xul in a pgo doesn't take anywhere near 2 hours anymore (the "still linking" message only ever shows up once), and the presumed reason the linker was getting killed at that point was buildbot.
Additionally, we've been using --output-sync=line for a while without issue in automation, which I think defeats printing the status message as well.
