Thanks. It built on i386 (babin), but amd64 (brahms) still  failed.
Is there a pattern here wrt. the underlying Debian and/or kernel version?
Is babin still at wheezy?

The hanging builds have other failures too:

 # Failed test 2 - very basic times test at op/time.t line 33
 t/op/time ..................................................... FAILED at test 2

 t/itimer.t: overall time allowed for tests (360s) exceeded!
 cpan/Time-HiRes/t/itimer ...................................... FAILED--expected 2 tests, saw 1

It looks like something is rather badly broken. I'll try building
on a jessie kernel next to see if I can reproduce this.
