Well, maybe it is transient because an issue with Berlin but the
failure [1] is because it was silent for one hour:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
building of `/gnu/store/i6h8q8jgqxli3mkfyw7lpwzf7gq6mrxk-ghc-8.10.7.drv'
timed out after 3600 seconds of silence
@ build-failed /gnu/store/i6h8q8jgqxli3mkfyw7lpwzf7gq6mrxk-ghc-8.10.7.drv
- timeout
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


And I think the patch would avoid such transient error.  Note it
similar for ghc-9 for i686 on master [2]; it is maybe not as transient
as it seems. ;-)

Good, let see. :-)
