"make check-acceptance" takes way way too long. I just did a run on an arm-and-aarch64-targets-only debug build and it took over half an hour, and this despite it skipping or cancelling 26 out of 58 tests!
I think that ~10 minutes runtime is reasonable. 30 is not; ideally no individual test would take more than a minute or so. Output saying where the time went. The first two tests take more than 10 minutes *each*. I think a good start would be to find a way of testing what they're testing that is less heavyweight.
