[plt-dev] Incredibly slow setup-plt

I saw that it was fixed (after the build was started, of course).
After it finishes I may try another one in the background with the fix
in place to see if that had anything to do with the speed.

And while I don't usually time my setup-plt, and it can certainly be
slow, I think 7 hours is a record.  Clean builds have taken 2 or 3
hours, but I've never had to wait essentially a whole work day for one
to finish before.
