Hm, we're losing more and more physical build machines. I think I should visit
the datacenter soon to get them back up :-)

They are in fact retried up to 5 times. The build you linked to is a failure
propagated from this one:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/27817621

which shows 5 failed attempts. All failures appear to be due to the disk full on
the main machine.
