Installing with cargo takes forever

[R-Goc]

Describe the bug
Installing with cargo takes forever. Both with current stable and nightly, from crates.io, from git, locked or not.
The build always gets stuck at:
Compiling git2-hooks v0.3.1
Building [=======================> ] 295/299: openssl-sys(build)
It gets stuck there, cpu usage falls. Everything before this is done in around a minute, to finish this took 14 minutes.

To Reproduce
The ones I tried:
cargo install gitui
cargo install gitui --locked
cargo install --git https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui.git
cargo install --git https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui.git --locked
and all of the above with nightly.

Expected behavior
Gitui builds in a timely manner.

Screenshots

Context (please complete the following information):

• OS/Distro + Version: Windows 11 Beta
• GitUI Version: master, crates.io (0.26.3)
• Rust version: 1.79.0 1.82.0

Additional context
I did build a previous version of gitui on my machine some time ago, don't recall any trouble with it.
There's nothing in my config.toml

probaably worth reporting upstream: https://github.com/alexcrichton/openssl-sys

I have this error

error: linker `cc` not found
  |
  = note: No such file or directory (os error 2)

error: could not compile `proc-macro2` (build script) due to 1 previous error
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: could not compile `libc` (build script) due to 1 previous error
error: failed to compile `gitui v0.26.3`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-install9jvsXr`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.

fixed with

sudo apt install build-essential

Not fully related to the topic but if you're dealing with long build times, sccache is worth setting up. It caches parts of a compilation when possible. Takes 2 mins to set up!

I already use it. The issue is that one step.
