It depends on a number of factors, including the speed of your
machine, whether or not you've got an SMP box, what languages you
build, etc etc.

This is typical and can be safely ignored.

This sounds like you're using a broken "make" program. GCC requires a
posix complaint make. GNU make is known to work.
