That's worrisome.
Why does did build step run 15 hours?
Why did sc deliver run over 5 hours?
possible reasons just speculations:
* some Antivirus slows down everything or even locks up some files
(could explain the lock up in the following builds)
* Guess sc deliver is the linking step, this takes very much memory.
   Maybe we hit a memory limit on the machine or it starts to use hard disk.
* Maybe we use just one thread ( to avoid fails due race conditions ).
Would explain total time but not long linking time.
* Maybe the assigned resources for the vm are too limited (io, cpu and
memory) for a build.

Guess to solve these 'maybe's one needs online access during a build.
Who wants to watch the build process for 15hours? :-p

That is sadly the usual behaviour. Line of interest is:

`build/ext_libraries/apr/wntmsci12.pro/misc/build/apr-1.4.5/Makefile.win':
Device or resource busy
This file is locked by some process. IIRC someone said build tries to
restart something and ends up locking this file.

Afraid it was never really fixed. You need to restart the whole machine
to unlock the apr makefile. So you can start a build.
Then you have to debug the reason for the long build time.
