I am full of shame.  But the thing is, Jean-Marc Pigeon gave me
access to a machine so beefy that i could do things in 90 seconds
which took up to an hour here, all in all.  And i am chaotic in my
work, just like the universe -was- is.  I need a lot of
recompilations thus.  And TinyCC and even PCC do not do tricks
like e.g. address sanitizer.  And then, i like CRUX-Linux and the
BSDs, but was unable to actually use the former / build the latter
for quite some time.  Years in fact.  My more beefy bought-in-2009
CoreDuo died as such at the end of 2015 i think it was.

I think i will buy a small PineBook in addition someday, for the
ARM and again more power saving side of the road.
Yet, i am happy to now own a supercomputer myself, and it is still
much less power consuming than even some graphic cards of desktop
computers.   Really.  I can finally do things that i never could,
like creating an automatized test series over many VMs.   It has
to be setup first, of course.

And all in all i consume very few resources, so having bought this
supercomputer with a 65 Watt power supply is embedded in
a context.  Nonetheless it can much more than i need in daily
work, which is why i will buy a smaller ARM thing, too.  I think
about PineBook.  (I would even buy a smart phone instead, then, if
i could plug it into a laptop hull and "have a pinebook" with non-
android at best.  There are even patents which describe such
designs, like i have learned, but not to buy i think.)

Note i have never actually used the OPT_CROSS_BUILD switch, only
proofed it correct.

Ciao,
