Of course.

It's still hard to reproduce, however I've emulated it by writing a
Makefile which compiles, then links the test file taken from cmake with
the same compiler and flags as used in the build - essentially the same
thing which cmake does judging from the output.
I've ran this in a loop with package build runing in a parallel to
somehow simulate what's actually hapenning on our build cluster and
measured some times.
Host hardware is Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz (4 cores x 2 HT threads)
( min / avg / max )
Build on host: 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.43 (fully native)
ARMv6 jail, host toolchain: 0.03 / 0.27 / 3.76 (what we actually use for
cross-builds)
ARMv6 jail, armv6 toolchain: 0.91 / 1.23 / 4.82 (fully emulated)
As you can see, it's not uncommon for the build to take several
seconds, and the timeout as I suspect is somewhere around this
value. I'd suggest to bump it to some arbitrary high value like 60
seconds, which, on one hand, ensures that the build doesn't hand,
on the other tolerates slow hardware and environments.
However, I doubt this solution (enforcing any timeouts by default)
in general, as there's no limit on how slow compilation could be
(slow hardware, emulation, CPU starvation due other tasks and/or
low priority, SIGSTOP etc.).
