The autobuilder doesn't automatically retry failed packages, they have to be
manually requeued. I did this yesterday for pike7_7.0.345-2 and it built
successfully on pig; see
<http://buildd.armlinux.org/~buildd/build.php?pkg%3Dpike7%26ver%3D7.0.345-2%26arch%3Darm>
Incidentally, you weren't "out of options": you could have just uploaded the
binaries that you built yourself, especially if you thought this was just some
transient failure. Obviously, if the autobuilder is consistently failing to
build some particular package that you can successfully compile by hand then
it needs looking into, but occasional glitches do happen and it's not worth
worrying about them too much.
