-make -j4
+# make -j4 takes more than 50 minutes when there is no ccache available on Travis CI
+# and when Travis CI timeouts a job after 50 minutes it won't store any ccache get so far.
+# To avoid to be stuck forever with failing build, gtimeout will stop make command before
+# Travis CI timeouts, and this will allow Travis CI to successfully store any ccache get so far,
+# and iterating this process, the ccache will build up till the make command will succeed.
+# 50 minutes == 3000 seconds; ~1000 seconds are needed by deps.sh; hence:
+gtimeout 1500 make -j4
