Hello

I had a look at the build log on armhf, and my guess is that the build
dameon lacks ram for compiling tms57002.c

2GB of RAM/swap are needed to compile this file[1], since the buildd has
only 1GB it might be the cause of failure.

MY understanding is that the system would start to swap and crawl so
badly that after some time dpkg-buildpackage kills the whole thing

"Build killed with signal TERM after 161 minutes of inactivity"

Is it possible to increase this time out ? Is there anything else we
could do here ?
