Sergio, would it possible to include the time it took to run the
testsuite in the messages sent to gdb-testers?  As is, such new
long cascading timeouts are introduced without one realizing,
unless you go look at the builds' pages one by one.

Ideally we'd even get a notification if time jumped
seemingly too much between builds.

And IWBN if the gdb buildbot web frontend had some kind of graph
tracking/plotting test run duration over time (build# for a
given builder), so we could just open some URL and
notice the spikes.  </pie in the sky>.

Thanks,
