Not really. The 30 minutes limit is configured for the qemu-based m68k
buildds, those are quite fast.

Do these tests perform any sort of complex multithreading (e.g. using
futexes or using openmp)? If yes, then qemu-m68k is actually locking
up during these tests.

Please test with qemu-m68k, Aranym behaves much different than qemu-m68k,
see: https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/sbuildQEMU

Unless I have verified that the timeout is just a timeout because the buildd
is slow and not because qemu-m68k is locking up because of multithreading
issues, I'm not going to raise the timeout.
