When texlive is built on hydra, the build slave that built it is tied up
for 12 hours or more waiting for the build outputs (over 3 gigabytes!)
to be transferred back to hydra.

By design, only one transfer can happen at a time from a given build
slave, so during those 12 hours, the build slave's CPU is left idle, and
typically another 3 built-but-not-yet-transferred packages must wait
until the texlive transfer finishes.

I suggest that we arrange for hydra.gnu.org to build texlive locally for
x86_64 and i686, to avoid this problem.

What do you think?
