Hm, on the native builder (CentOS-ppc64le-m64), the builds were taking
about 30 minutes. However, on
CentOS-ppc64le-native-extended-gdbserver-m64 and
CentOS-ppc64le-native-gdbserver-m64, the builds were taking much
longer. For example:

https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/CentOS-ppc64le-native-gdbserver-m64/builds/1988
Elapsed 6 hrs, 30 mins, 12 secs

https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/CentOS-ppc64le-native-gdbserver-m64/builds/1997
Elapsed 20 hrs, 52 mins, 15 secs

Things get much worse with native-extended:

https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/CentOS-ppc64le-native-extended-gdbserver-m64/builds/1992
Elapsed 37 hrs, 4 mins, 29 secs

https://gdb-build.sergiodj.net/builders/CentOS-ppc64le-native-extended-gdbserver-m64/builds/1988
Elapsed 37 hrs, 6 mins, 19 secs

Unfortunately they haven't reached the commit which introduces the
timestamp feature, so we still don't know exactly where they're hanging.

No problem.

I've now cancelled the builds; let's see how things go.

Cheers,
