When ngcc fails due to a timeout waiting for another process to complete, it was not failing with a unique exit code, so that it was not possible to know if the process can be restarted; compared to ngcc failing for some more fatal reason. Now if ngcc exits because of a timeout, the exit code will be 177. PR Close #36838
Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)
This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which
appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.
This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.
