1. make bootstrap on a 2.4ghz p4 takes 90 minutes for me as of

2. Building XLC with (C,C++,Fortran) and a single backend takes
roughly
the same time as building GCC. And they aren't three staging,
AFAIK.

Bullshit.
They are both production quality compilers.
People complain gcc bootstrap is too long. XLC at O2 (which is what
they
compile at, last i looked) isn't running the IPA middle end, etc.
Again,
"..ain't the same ballpark, it ain't the same league,
it ain't even the same ******* sport..."
Software A provides X1 functionality.
Software B provides X2 functionality.
BTW, you know more, about XLC's SPEC numbers and GCC's SPEC
numbers, than me. So in these X1 is not same as X2 but let's
ignore that for moment and say X1 is almost same as X2.
Software A and B is developed independently.
They do not share source code.
Software G compiles A in T1 time.
Software X compiles B in T2 time.
T1 is almost same as T2, so G is as fast as X.
That's what you're trying to say?
