:-)  I have a vague recollection this is true (32=bit only).

If someone wants to post linux numbers and the command, I'll redo on  
my box.

make all && rm */libjava/? && time make all-target-libjava

type of thing.  Better would be someone that has both Yellow dog and  
Darwin on the same hardware, but...  don't know if we'll find that  
person.

[ pause ]  Ok, here is what I get for mainline 20050428:

$ rm powerpc-apple-darwin8.0.0/libjava/.libs/libgcj.la
$ rm powerpc-apple-darwin8.0.0/libjava/libgcj.la
$ time make -j2 all-target-libjava
real    3m44.677s
user    1m15.000s
sys     1m19.868s

G5 DP 2.5 GHz 512MB
