It took about 7 hrs to build gcc with configure --enable-languages='c c++
fortran' --disable-shared... with make -j 2 on my 2Ghz core 2 laptop, with
McAfee firewall. It's about an hour on my Pentium D XPSP3 with make -j 4,
clamav but no firewall. No way do you want to build other languages if
you care about time. Testsuite takes about 2 days on the Pentium D.
