This derivation seems to have been built fine by the bordeaux build
farm:

  https://data.guix.gnu.org/gnu/store/ny56fdcig9cd9bd3pssmlraz2c1q10q8-linux-libre-6.8.10-guix.tar.xz.drv

This is the timeout configuration for the bordeaux ARM build machines:

  (max-silent-time (* 12 3600))
  (timeout (* 72 3600))

e.g. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/maintenance.git/tree/hydra/hatysa.scm#n262

The ci.guix.gnu.org Honeycomb timeouts are different, but don't look too
short. Maybe this build happened on an Overdrive system though.
