So a debug kernel was running? (Non-debug running for my builds.)
Did it include a buildkernel? Or just a buildworld?
At around 9 hours, it would take standardizing on a (equivalent
of) src.conf too be able to well compare your context vs. mine
now, if we ever want to do so. I'll list my file later below
for reference, although I'm probably more likely to try your
src.conf content in my overclocked context than you are
likely to try building via my src.conf like content in your
powerd context.
Welcome to the world of overnight (sleep-time) buildworld on a
small board computer.

Ambient temperature? (It is the difference that indicates how
well your cooling is working and it is the difference that
is more comparable across contexts. For example, my around
15.5C ambient likely was likely around 10C lower than for
many reported figures.)
