That is PowerPC. My reading of
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=r-base&suite=experimental#problem-1
is that ppc64el (release) and powerpc (non-release) and ppc64 (non-release)
are in fact distinct.
Moreover, the bug #946836 you mention was a _hard_ compilation failure, not
this weird timeout after 150 mins of trying to byte compile (or whatever goes
into sysdata.rda). So no cigar :-/

Yes. I followed the wiki and requested an account on ppc64el hosted in
Brazil. We'll see how it goes.
