On an ASUS UX305CA-FC093T (a notebook) from 2017, I remember that it took
about 45 minutes. On the Fujitsu ESPRIMO G7012A that I own now, it takes
about 17 minutes.

--create-megatestdir with all modules is not realistic: it would consume
hundreds of GB of disk space and maybe a week of run time.

--create-megatestdir is useful for a small set of modules, in particular
for 2 modules, e.g. fnmatch-posix and fnmatch-gnu.
