GCC 3.4.0 on Solaris 2.6 - two days to compile!!

[Nick Thurn]

Folks,

Compiling the std C++ lib included with gcc has been getting slower and slower with each release.
However the latest bundle takes the cake! The latest bundled release of the library took over a
day and a half to configure/compile. Most of the time appeared to be in scripts searching for
various functions and headers.

Is this a gcc, a sparc, a solaris 2.6, or a std lib issue?  Is there a fix ?

Note the compile was on a large multiprocessor server not an underpowered workstation.

Thanks
Nick
