Why do you think this is related to the use of mlock?  A quick check in
the source shows that an error in mlock is not fatal.  Also building on
Linux with a locked memory limit of 0 does not trigger this error.

But several lines below this warning in the build-log is the simple
statement:
| Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

So you found yourself a dead lock.  Did you ever try to run this on a
kfreebsd-* porter machine?  You completely forgot to actually mention
what you tried and what you observed yourself.

I would propose (c): understand the problem.

Anyway, I did that for you.  The problem lies within build/tap-driver,
aka the tool that executes the tests.  In some cases it misses EOF on
stderr of the executed test program, I'm however not sure why.

This misses a link to the build-log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gnome-keyring&arch=kfreebsd-i386&ver=3.12.0-2&stamp=1398611094

As this is a simple bug, this is off-topic on debian-release.
