I've merged these to master. Whilst not a 10% build time improvement on
my test machine, the gettext change did show a clear 2% gain.

I also added the INSANE_SKIP tweaks for db, qemu, u-boot and elfutils so
the majority of QA warnings should be squashed apart from some issues
with ldflags which I'll discuss in another email...

Cheers,
