That "loop" is the multilib profile you're probably using, which will compile you both 64-bit and 32-bit version of gcc? You also stated in an earlier email that your system has an Athlon 3000+ processor. As a comparison, here with an Athlon 3500+ and 3GB of RAM the gcc:4.3 compilation takes around two hours if the ccache is empty and an hour and 20 minutes if it hits mostly the cache, so the duration doesn't appear surprising for a first compilation (varying by the USE flags, naturally). -- Arttu V.
