Sorry for being so unresponsive, we had bank holidays and I've been away from my computer for 3 days.

So for me there's one question left: Why seems Greg's CYGWIN to be faster than my MSYS2. But since I can again achieve build times in the 3 to 4min range, that's not of much importance. (Nevertheless I will try WSL someday.) Johannes
