It's highly dependent on your processor's speed and how many processors 
you have.

I've got one system here where it takes about a week (no testsuite).  On 
the systems where I typically do builds it's a couple hours (testsuite 
included).   I'd bet on David M.'s box it's probably less than 30 minutes ;)

Certainly if you have a multi-processor using the "-j #cpus" option to 
make will speed things up considerably.
