Hi Maxim,

for the guile-2.2 package I see that this is part of the package
definition:

    (properties '((timeout . 72000)               ;20 hours
                  (max-silent-time . 10800)))     ;3 hours (needed on ARM)

We do this so that we can build it on Hydra.
You can override the max silent time:

    guix build --max-silent-time=9999999 guile

Does “guix build” not respect these build properties?
