gcc compile time

[Bill Cunningham]

    I used gcc-2.96 to compile gcc-3.4.6 core with the c++ libraries added.
It took almost if not two hours to compile and that was with these options:

    make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2'
LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap

    This is supposed to save space. I want to cut down on compile time. Are
there any options that can do that?
