I haven't done a GCC build recently on this x86 system but I don't
believe there is a timeout problem with this test on most x86 systems.

Instead of just arbitrarily increasing the timeout values, I tend to think
timeout values should be scaled based on the time for some base compilation.
It also would be nice to keep execution time records for certain benchmark
tests to that it might be possible to detect regressions in compilation
speed.
