seems the build got restarted, perhaps due OOM on the builder, and
actual build time was 12h, perhaps the builder or the vmhost were
overloaded. Do you see the long build times in recent builds too? Both
examples are from March.
Here's one:

Compared to:

And I suspect this is the cause of the large number of random errors
we've been experiencing with R packages recently. I think that the R
check command has a timeout that is triggered when a ppc64le build
takes too much (specifically when rebuilding package vignettes).
Things seem to have gone back to normal as I noticed them and disabled
vignette rebuilds in most (all?) of them. But these random extreme
delays are annoying, especially in packages with heavy tests.
