What compile flags do you use? If the flags contain -Ofast -IPA this will likely be the cause of the long compile. IPA is the interprocedural analyser and accomplishes optimization over several object files. I've seen xmame compiles with that flag take over 2 Gb of swap on my Origin 200 with 1 GB physical, so i use that machine almost exclusively when compiling xmame
So either get yourself another boatload of swap (4 GB should be ok) or buy more ram :) Or i can do the build for you and put it in the download section of www.nekochan.net Hows that sound?
