Yes, you're correct. This was pointed out by Roger Sayle
<roger@eyesopen.com> about a month ago (don't know why the gnats page
doesn't show this..). There were also a couple of suggestions for how
to speed this up on AIX, f.ex.
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-03/msg00086.html and defining
CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash.

It actually took 10 hours to build gcc-3.0.4 on a single POWER4 cpu.
