I tried to build your package in clean diablo(4.1 rootstrap + vim
build-depends only) and found this issue:
checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library
selection
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
      You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
      Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
/scratchbox/tools/bin/make -f Makefile all
make[126]: Entering directory
`/home/ed/maemo-diablo-armel-extras/work/vim-7.0/src'

Unfortunately configure doesn't stop when it can't find terminal library
and goes further into long recursive loop of 'make' calls.

Most probably adding libncurses5-dev to build-depends: should resolve
this issue. Fixing configure would be also not bad :)

In future versions of autobuilder I'll try to introduce build timeout
and just kill builds after timeout is expired. I'll add this to
autobuilder todo.
