I think it timed out:

command timed out: 1200 seconds without output, killing pid 22364
process killed by signal 9
program finished with exit code -1

Maybe the buildbot should be switched to do a release build (make ENABLE_OPTIMIZED=1),
instead of a debug build?
The release build has less symbols, and is much faster to link.

The buildbot is probably using a binutils version that has the huge link time bug in 2.17?
