Folks,
Compiling the std C++ lib included with gcc has been getting slower and slower with each release.
However the latest bundle takes the cake! The latest bundled release of the library took over a
day and a half to configure/compile. Most of the time appeared to be in scripts searching for
various functions and headers.
Is this a gcc, a sparc, a solaris 2.6, or a std lib issue? Is there a fix ?

Note the compile was on a large multiprocessor server not an underpowered workstation.

Make sure that /tmp (or where ever the temporary files are stored) is mounted as a tmpfs partition. Mounting /tmp as a tmpfs partition made the gcc 3.4.0 build about 10 times faster for us.
