Hm, thinking about this again:

Maybe it wasn't clear to me what "time out" means in your setup. Does
it mean that it did not have *any* visible activity, like harddisk
access, in 90minutes? This is unexpected. The really long commands are
these:
# Create Unicode encoded subfonts `$(uninamestem)00' ..
`$(uninamestem)ff'.
# This will take more than an hour. Make yourself a cup of tea.
@echo fontforge -script subfonts.pe $(typeface).ttf $(uninamestem)
$(sfddir)/Unicode.sfd
@( cd $(builddir) && fontforge -script subfonts.pe $(typeface).ttf
$(uninamestem) $(sfddir)/Unicode.sfd > log 2>&1 || ($(ERR)) )
@echo
and similar, all write their stdout to log. And I'd say there's one
message every couple of minutes usually. So if this didn't happen,
maybe this is more than a normal or wishlist bug...

This looks as if a couple of processes timed out, where killed but the
build proceeded? Can you provide a full log?
