This takes quite some time, around 7 SBUs. The Gettext test suite is
known to experience failures under certain host conditions, for
example when it finds a Java compiler on the host. An experimental
patch to disable Java is available from the LFS Patches project at
<ulink url="&lfs-root;patches/"/>.</para>
