The win64 cross build is quite often hitting the job timeout, despite having an elevated timeout of 80 minutes. A typical time is 75-78 minutes in my tests, which leaves little headroom.
I'm not inclined to increase the timeout beyond 80 minutes as this is already unreasonably long. Interestingly the win32 job doesn't timeout in the same way. In local tests I've found the mingw32 gcc is as much as 50% faster than mingw64 gcc in building QEMU. This explains at least why we only see win64 gitlab builds timeout normally. None the less, this series thus cuts down on the amount of stuff built in both win32 and win64 jobs, as well as cross build jobs more generally. With this applied: - win32 job runs in 40 minutes instead of 55 minutes - win64 job runs in 50 minutes instead of 75 minutes - other cross build jobs are a few minutes faster this should give us plenty of headroom to avoid hitting the job timeouts.
