Subject: bug#56424: hydra.nixos coverage job times out

Everything on Nixos seems to be failing now.  For instance:

https://hydra.nixos.org/build/193879284

I'm not sure what the actual failure there is at all, but there's a
bunch of warnings like:

Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.32), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^\s+@([[:alnum:]][[:alnum:]\-]*)({ <-- HERE })?\s*/ at /nix/store/xbxabhr44naykgf768533sijfcamkyr9-texinfo-6.5/share/texinfo/Texinfo/Parser.pm line 5481.

The actual log ends with:

  GEN      ../../lisp/international/cp51932.el
  GEN      ../../lisp/international/eucjp-ms.el
  GEN      ../../etc/charsets/GB180304.map

Which isn't very helpful.

Hm...  Oh, the actual error is earlier:

mv: cannot stat 'lisp.mk.tmp': No such file or directory
  GEN      globals.h
  GEN      buildobj.h
  GEN      globals.h

Either something is very wrong on that build machine, or there's
something very wrong in our build.
