My amiga-m68k that built 2.8-3.0 I was compiling on a 68060@50MHz with 128M ram. I seem to recall base being somewhere over 1-2 days, and X taking 3 days, mostly spending its time gzipping font files. But the "not-fun" part of course still applies. Having a this-will-go-to-release build fail at X11 is a real dog. >> The interesting question really would be: Are there any plans to get rid >> of m68k entirely.

Aren't they lacking a bunch of m68k instructions also? That would probably mean they would have to hit a bunch of "unimplemented instruction" exceptions and emulate them. For 68060, just hitting those for 64bit MUL/DIV in openssl code was a pain. -- To our sweethearts and wives. May they never meet. -- 19th century toast
