If the test hit a timeout, the timeout is definitely too small.

It's in a VM, but in a fast one, due to good hardware. In the VM, I had
only "make check" running. The load of the entire system was about 2.5
when I had 6 VMs open simultaneously, on a CPU with 8 cores.
All VMs configured to use nested paging, and so on.
In the 'make-4.3.91' directory:
  time ./configure      7.4 sec
  time make             5.6 sec
