The latest upload of linux to unstable has failed to build on mips
several times, with the failure mode being an apparent hang near the
end of the build process.  (Only one of these failed builds is visible
on buildd.debian.org now, but I think there were two previous
attempts.)

Has there been any attempt to diagnose the hang?  If so, does it seem
to be due to memory exhaustion and extreme swapping, or a software bug,
or some other cause?  Why hasn't it happened when building earlier
versions?

If it's memory exhaustion, are linux and other large packages being
blacklisted for these build hosts?

Ben.
