   I didn't see any stalling at all so I changed it to 50s and
   it still finished immediately. I thought there might not be a
   tty in the build environment but I see in the setup code
   there is a /dev/tty. It looks like it's bind-mounted from
   outside the build chroot.

This tells me that maybe: (a) we are misusing =E2=80=98timeout=E2=80=99; or=
 (b)
=E2=80=98timeout=E2=80=99 is not doing its job.  Do any of the following co=
mmand
lines result in different behavior?

  timeout --foreground 50s        (original)
  timeout 50s                     (no --foreground)
  LANG=3DC timeout --foreground 50s (w/ LANG=3DC)
  LANG=3DC timeout                  (w/ LANG=3DC, no --foreground)

The reason for =E2=80=98LANG=3DC=E2=80=99 cases is to see if the number par=
sing is
sensitive to locale in some weird way (IIRC i saw something
about that changing in the more recent coreutils NEWS file).

Another possiblity is (c) =E2=80=98co=E2=80=99 is not detecting the TTY, bu=
t that
is doubtful since t632.d/signal-handling-out-and-err has the line

  writable t632.d/x exists; remove it? [ny](n):=20

which shows =E2=80=98co=E2=80=99 initiating user-interaction, which it only=
 does
if it has detected the TTY.

Hmmm...  i'm hoping for (a), but fear (b) to be the root cause.
