I agree we could use a binary unstable distribution like Debian. Any chance
we could merge back with Debian and leverage their auto-build and mirror
mechanisms? They have a few fledgling efforts on their web page for other
kernels (GNU Hurd, FreeBSD, NetBSD). It would eliminate the periodic build
errors when maintainer X moves his tarball.
One thing that can help is to use ccache (available in unstable tree). It
caches .o files based on MD5SUM of preprocessor output. It won't help the
first time you run it, but my performance appears to be steadily increasing.
