Indeed, I just forced parallel=1 on the buildd (kamp) for dbus-python
and the builds succeeded. If it helps anyone debugging this, kamp has 2
i7-4790K cores allocated to it, which is a desktop processor not a
server processor so has a higher clock speed (and despite being a 2014
model performs very well; this buildd alone can easily keep up with both
kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386). The buildd is also configured with
parallel=2, and has a habit of exposing race conditions in test
scripts...
