Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 This package has one issue.  When running make check it does:

 {{{
 Getting official tests ...

 2026-07-10 00:15:18 URL:https://speleotrove.com/decimal/dectest.zip
 [791733/791733] -> "dectest.zip" [1]
 }}}

 Actually it raises two issues.
 1. We do not want to download files in chroot.
    - The script that downloads the file uses wget and unzip.
 2. We do not have unzip or wget in LFS - only in BLFS.

 The script says:
 {{{
 In order to run the tests,
 download http://speleotrove.com/decimal/dectest.zip and extract the
 archive into tests/testdata.
 }}}

 The easiest way to handle this is to explain the issue in a note and not
 try
 to run the tests.

 Doing something else is a bit more effort.  I suppose we can get
 dectest.zip (774K) and repackage it as a tarball and host it on anduin.
 We already do that for sqlite docs and systemd man pages.  A problem with
 that is that the zip file is not versioned and we do not have a way to see
 if it is updated other than to periodically download it and compare
 md5sums.
