We originally had different sets of packages in the 32-bit and 64-bit jobs, 
to distribute the load between the two jobs ... but it got unified in commit 
14547e0877f3522. Now considering that we are facing timeouts again, we 
should maybe rather revert that commit instead of unifying the lists forever?

Anyway, before we unify the compiler package name suffix between the two 
jobs, I really would like to see whether the mingw Clang builds QEMU faster 
in the 64-bit job ... but so far I failed to convince meson to accept the 
Clang from the mingw package ... does anybody know how to use Clang with 
MSYS2 properly?
