Recently, there have been several moans of complaint about how slowly
solaris bootstraps gcc and runs make check. My experience is that
the biggest time sink is multilibing libjava, since, for some reason,
parallel build is disabled in the libraries; see Michael Matz's post
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-03/msg01748.html
Solaris is not so bad when you can build the libraries with make -j 4, say,
and overlap some of their outrageous file access and system times.
Perhaps someone can figure out how to fix this problem with gnu make.
