Is this fixing a build issue?

I did a build locally, and I see cmake taking 100% CPU time at the
step:

-- Considering the following Lua versions: 5.4;5.3

is this what you are seeing as well?

Since this is a fix, please add a reference to the Buildroot commit
being fixed:

Fixes: 49fa20e6678ee32e4b26979f5cb4d149876fbedd ("package/wireshark: bump to latest upstream stable v4.4.9")

Thanks!

Thomas

I see the same problem.
But, I found nothing in autobuilder outputs.
If the autobuilder uses only the default version for Lua (ie. 5.4), it
cannot show this issue.
