Hi guys,

  I seem to recall similar compilation times on an IBM M80
running AIX 4.3.3 for an earlier gcc version. I think, the
reason is, that quite a lot has to be buildt, if you enable
all languages and versions, multible compiler and library
versions threaded/nonthreaded, 32bit/64bit etc. The build
process goes through a configure stage for each combination
of options, i think, so dont be alarmed by seeing the process
in configure stage after hours and hours. It is most likly
reconfiguring for a slightly different build.
  Anyway i just let it run to completion.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
