I guess this happens on every architecture, presumably the problem is
the slow build hardware, not the riscv64 hardware?

Looking at the bug that this test prevents, it seems that just changing
the loop from 100 to 2 would be enough.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23831

Another option might be to have the test provide a progress indicator
to the test supervisor, so that as long as the imports are succeeding,
the test is able to continue.

Maybe talk to upstream about these options.
