2683	TIMEOUTFACTOR on glibc test suite	Gilles Espinasse	bdubbs@…	"I find in fedora TIMEOUTFACTOR=16 to eliminate the possible timout errors. Seen same variable in debian build.
With that, I am able to build glibc without any error on amd-xp 3000+ or amd xp2800+
Without TIMEOUTFACTOR, I had 
Timed out: killed the child process
make[3]: *** [/usr/src/glibc-build/stdio-common/bug22.out] Error 1

For the TIMEOUTFACTOR value, I am stupid and blindy use the value like in Fedora.
I am using -march=i486 -mtune=native -O3 -pipe -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs to be virtualisation friendly.

May I suggest to parse glibc error log in a way that skip (ignored) error with 
grep ' Error [0-9]\+$' glibc-check-log"	task	closed	normal	6.7	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
