In 3.0.3, if it failed to compile some of the hvm tools the build would
still continue. You may simply just be missing bcc or cpp respectively. 

I find its handy to redirect make output (nohup or tree is handy for
this) to a file so I can review it later to see if something went wrong.

I'm not 100% sure that in 3.0.4 the build process won't halt if it can't
build some of the qemu / hvm related tools. More than likely you were
missing stuff make needed to build it, but it didn't halt .. and just
flew by.
