E: Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity

Seen these, I do follow auto builds.

The next test is "Magick++/demo/demos.tap 1 - analyze",
this seems to be the hanging one?

I have no idea. I know three things. It can not be reproduced on the
porterbox - I've tried the build several times. The build occasionally
hangs since the Perl transition started - but the mentioned test rules
are shell scripts.
But the most important thing is that the fail always happened on
ppc64el-unicamp-01 - the other buildd, ppc64el-osuosl-01 can build it
without any problem. As such, I think it's the buildd that different
in some way than the source has any known problem.
Can you reschedule the build, first on ppc64el-unicamp-01, then on
ppc64el-osuosl-01 and see the results? Maybe the former is not up to
date and has some inconsistent package set installed?
