I think we should further increase the 'max-silent-time' value for
Guile-2.2.  I've had to restart that build several times on ARM.  3
hours might be enough on a machine that's not doing anything else, but
our build slaves are often building multiple packages.

I would increase it to 6 hours.  What do you think?

       Mark
