With what checking options? Weird, on my not so fast x86-64 machine, the 3rd item takes 40 min and the 4th 42 min with yes,rtl checking, so a difference of 21 min on yours is unexpected. > Some of this might be building Ada and its runtime during all three > stages.

If everyone has the same figures as you, I cannot disagree. -- Eric Botcazou
