 Two observations:
 
  - nothing has "seriously" changed recently to get into this situation,
    but the builds have always been very close to the limit. Last working
    HEAD build was:
 
 	HEAD-llvm:202312111450Z amd64 b41 13711 passed
 
    (that is 13711 seconds, with 4h = 14400s being the current limit)
 
  - the gcc builds are a bit faster, after mrg reworked the amount/detail
    of debug info that is generated for the C++ parts of the compiler
    some time ago - but they are not very much faster, example:
 
 	HEAD:202312291920Z amd64 b44 12255 passed
 
 So the real problem is: amd64 builds in general are extremely slow.
 Other builds are way faster, e.g. alpha (which has no 32bit compat):
 
 	HEAD:202312290600Z alpha b43 5408 passed
 
 but also sparc64, which has 32bit compat (but no llvm compiled GPU stuff):
 
 	HEAD:202312291920Z sparc64 localhost 5845 passed
 
 but here the difference to an llvm build is even more significant:
 
 	HEAD-llvm:202312291450Z sparc64 b48 8697 passed
 
 
 
 For now I have raised the time limit to 4.5h
