I wonder what 'inactivity' means to a buildd. gcc-3.4 (3.4.1-7) took my 400Mhz arm 72 hours to build. libc took 5 or 6 hours I think. C++ code takes longer than C code by quite a bit, and java code (at least when using gcj as it is now) takes much much longer. Current arm machines are not the same speed as a cheap modern x86 machine. Too bad cross compiling is such a pain to get to work properly in general. Len Sorensen
