I spoke with our package builder about this. He says it takes 24 hours
with a cluster of 8 build machines (pentium-III/800).
With all the activities he already does; build packages for FreeBSD/4.x;
for FreeBSD/5.x; experimental runs on both versions to flush out
upgrading core packages like gtk, iconv, gettext, etc... there is little
bandwidth on his time to try experimental compilers. :-(
The scripts to do this are publically available though.
