Homebrew-core: gcc and qt5 failed to build on 10.12

[gregvirgin]

Build of gcc and qt5 either run forever or run for many hours until the build stops working. If it fails, it simply gives the last few lines of what appears to be a normal build process. This was a fresh install of homebrew on a fresh OS install of Sierra.

• [Y] Ran brew update and retried your prior step?
• [Y] Ran brew doctor, fixed as many issues as possible and retried your prior step?
• [NA] If you're seeing permission errors tried running sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)?

Assuming they may be related, so posting both of them.

GCC shouldn't be a problem, install CLT (sudo xcode-select --install) and try again.

Qt5 problem is known and tracked in multiple places, notably #1705 #4841.

"run forever": use brew install foo --verbose to monitor progress.

Got it. Don't know how I missed that, sorry for the noise.
