Right, the timeout varies by architecture, being longer on those that
are generally slower. The good news is that it resets on any output to
stdout (or stderr, I think), so adjusting the tests to print progress
indicators every so often should let the build proceed. (The timeout is
meant to catch outright hangs, which do sometimes happen.)
