Following the "adding module ..." line, nginx configure calls the 
"config" script from the module directory.  And since there is no 
further output, it hangs somewhere in the config script of the 
passenger module.

As such, there is nothing to be done on nginx side here, you 
should dig into passenger's config.  Or you may want to upgrade 
passenger instead, to see if it helps.
