I suggest you spend some time in the bugzilla database, triaging bugs

Until then, I guess we're just going through an empty discussion.
Well, people can tell me I'm nuttier than a fruitcake, but here's a wild
suggestion:
Define a "lean-and-mean" build, perhaps focused on C, that reduces
system requirements and focuses on compilation speed. One of GCC's key
advantages is its support for "older" hardware.
Such an approach might go a long way toward satisfying the various
constituencies who want faster compiles on limited systems.
