I had a similar issue building a disk-image. It was on an x86 machine, and the
build would error out right at that point. The fix was to put add my user to
the 'kvm' group.
From looking at top during the build, it seems that the disk-image derivation
is doing something with qemu. Is there even ARM support in the KVM? I am
illiterate on that kind of thing, but hopefully this gives you a lead.
