IIUC, that 'timed out' message is coming from Cirrus CI logs, which
we can see over on the cirrus task:

  https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6462328380588032

This reports duration "64 minutes", vs a GitLab timeout of 1hr20.

IOW, we're not hitting the gitlab timeout, we're hitting hte
Cirrus CI timeout, which defaults to 60 minutes.  The other
4 minuts gitlab reports is likely because Cirrus queued the
job for 4 minutes before starting execution.

IIUC, we need to put a 'timeout_in' setting someone in
.gitlab-ci.d/cirrus/build.yml instead, to override
Cirrus 60 minute limit:
