[plt-dev] Incredibly slow setup-plt

`setup-plt' is not designed to work nicely when some core file is
broken --- and the framework sounds core enough in this case. The setup
process will keep trying to build things that rely on the broken file,
and it will spend a lot of effort each time re-discovering the
dependency and the broken file.

I recommend that you just stop the build and update from SVN.
