But couldn't the needed testing be distributed on several machines
with appropriate robots, and run in parallel. I know I am coming
late to this discussion, but it does not seem workable for the tree
to get this broken to me.
I must say I am a bit surprised that glibc should take hours to build
on a fast machine -- is that really the case -- gigaherz processors
chew through stuff pretty quickly :-)
