Most xml-processing utilities support xml-catalogs [0] which solve
precisely this problem by allowing you to map doctypes to custom
dtd-locations. I it would be useful to know which particular utility
tries to refer to the dtds.
If it supports catalogs, you can maintain a local copy of the relevant
dtds somewhere on the build machine and use those instead of those
located somewhere on the net.

Hope it helps,
