| And do you also see the behavior that most of that time is building Java?
Building Java takes quite a loong time, however I didn't make any
specific measure to see which part is eating the most time. But
certainly building Java takes longer that say building g++ + libstdc++.

Maybe, maybe not. However, I do know that GCC-2.95 took much less
than GCC-3.1 (not counting Java) to bootstrap.
