I've asked Daniel Dunbar to increase the timeout on this machine. Every 
build which requires libLTO to be rebuilt will fail, but because it's 
doing an incremental build the later builds may succeed so long as 
libLTO doesn't change. It's flapping pretty nastily because of that.

So Daniel, please take this as a reminder to *really* increase the 
timeout instead of just filing it away into your todo list :)
