Bug#554223: perl: FTBFS on mips: Test process timed out

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-6
Severity: serious

perl/5.10.1-6 failed to build on mips/mayr:

 https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=perl;ver=5.10.1-6;arch=mips;stamp=1256781334

ext/threads-shared/t/waithires................................# Test process timed out - terminating
FAILED--expected 57 tests, saw 32

I don't recall seeing this failure mode before, and it's most probably
transient given that there are no related source changes from 5.10.1-5 
and that the same test succeeds earlier with the statically linked perl
binary.

The timeout is 60 seconds, and it's possible that we should raise it.
Cc'ing the mips buildd maintainers: could you please schedule a retry
so we can see if the failure is reproducible?
