Thats what I'm embarking on doing, building master from src. but the zip seems to be a problem, mc is unpacking it and copying to ~/src, doubling the 180 some megs of the zip, but with mc piping both, its watch paint dry slow, about 40 kilobytes/sec of 360+ megs of src. So its not yet done creating a source tree from the zip. About 85% done when I last took a peek a minute ago.
