Bug#743047: mpich: FTBFS on armel buildd: killed while running tests

[Sebastian Ramacher]

Source: mpich
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

mpich failed to build on the armhf buildd:

The problem is that test_primitives takes almost two days to complete on
armhf (tested on harris). In particular, test_threaded_llsc_ptr_aba
seems to take quite a while. Since test_primitives produces no ouptut,
sbuild thinks the build got stuck and gets killed after 300 minutes.

Please take a look at this issue.
