Sorry, I somehow missed the fact that the test really uses alarm for
timeout handling:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/tests/unistr/test-u16-strstr.c#n41

I did the build on your system (thanks for giving me the access), and
the test can indeed take over 5 seconds (= the timeout value):

  $ time ./test-u16-strstr 
  real    0m5.281s
  user    0m5.128s
  sys     0m0.162s

I suppose the problem is intermittent and might be fixed by running it
when the system is not so busy, but if it still constantly occurs, we
could increase the timeout value (though it should be carefully chosen,
based on the algorithm complexity).
