Thanks for fixing it and sorry again for the inconvenience.

GitHub actions is free for public repositories and I believe the VMs
used for building have 2 CPUs and 7GB RAM
(https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/specifications-for-github-hosted-runners#supported-runners-and-hardware-resources)
and can run for up to 6 hours
(https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/usage-limits-billing-and-administration).

It only takes 10 minutes because the buildkernel step does not include
modules so is significantly faster than the default configuration.
Also we don't need to bootstrap LLVM so that saves lots of time.
