The Power 5 machine killed the build after 16 hours.

There may be two things to speed the build up:
- Use fastjar (and hope that it is compatible enough) and
- don't build documentation in the arch only builds.

Then we get a slow but usable interpreter for most architectures without
this overlong build times.
