I use wanna-build/sbuild. One advantage of that is that you can
use Packages-arch-specific, so you only build those for your
arch. You could also put all those that are known to fail to
build in failed state.
You can probably base that on the wanna-build states for the
current port. But they seem to be left in building state, but
it's probably a reasonable place to start with packages you
shouldn't try to build.
