Can you tell me wich platform you are using:
machine type
memory
compiler revision
libc version

You are right, it takes a hell of time to compile, may be that gcc isn't
a fast compiler.

It is the same time (more or less) on a celeron 400

May be that Arno have turned on some compiler optimization or that the
gcc you are using is the 2.9.xx and not the 2.7.2
