Indeed, this is a bit embarrassing, but the graft code was causing
things to be built during the evaluation, which is why it took so long
(Mark had noticed it a while back, in fact.)  Commit
9c3bb4c54d67899394af81c819fe60f391e35edf fixes it.

Also, “make hydra-jobs.scm” now reproduces the evaluation step that
happens on Hydra and catches problems like this one (note to Mathieu:
take a look at this, will be helpful for your project ;-)).  It runs in
~8 minutes on my laptop.

Next time something goes wrong on Hydra, this will facilitate debugging.
It will also help profile things.
