The added noise should keep Hydra from stopping this build thinking it is hanging doing nothing, while in fact it's just churning slowly through thousands of funny pictures!

A better solution would be to upstream a patch that adds some verbosity if desired. Though yes, totally a workaround, could stop working at any point, but if it stops working I think it'll become a no-op. |

I don't know how much of AArch64 is held back by this, but I assume some is. My main selfish reason is Mobile NixOS is being held back here. |

Motivation for this change
This package is timing out with the current situation of AArch64 builds on the organization's Hydra.
It seems to always be out of being silent. I have not observed a failure due to exhausting all its build time yet. My assumption is that file I/O is problematic on the somewhat overloaded AArch64 builders, and churning silently through thousands of files is breaking an assumption from Hydra: "silent builds are failing".
