So, I'm sitting here, waiting for GCC -3.3.3-r6 to compile on my Athlon 1ghz, 512mb RAM. And I got to wondering, how long does it take most people to compile GCC? Or bootstrapping the system? I've seen some amazing times listed, but those are for fairly new machines. Mine is 3-4 years old, and is just for tinkering.

Just some thoughts :)

Code:

 * sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r6

        Emerged at: Do Jun 10 00:07:19 2004
        Build time: 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 46 seconds


P3 700MHz
320MB RAM

Maybe ccache speeded the build a bit. Hope it helps :)

Did you do something to generate that? Or is that just something you wrote?

I just finished up, and the time command told me the following.
Code:

real    31m20.702s
user    27m6.930s
sys     3m26.820s


Fun stuff indeed!

Emerge genlop, and then 'genlop -t gcc'.

As for times, gcc usually takes around half an hour; bootstrap was 90-odd minutes. That's an AthlonXP 2500+.

Keep in mind that build times vary a *lot* depending on what USE flags you have set. As you can see below (during the 3.3.3 compile I had +java and a host of other things enabled):
Code:
     Tue Apr 13 02:51:10 2004 --> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r5
       merge time: 17 minutes and 59 seconds.

     Wed Jun  9 15:05:27 2004 --> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r6
       merge time: 1 hour, 44 minutes, and 10 seconds.

 
 merged totally 2 ebuilds in 2 hours, 2 minutes, and 9 seconds.
 average merge time: 1 hour, 1 minute, and 4 seconds.


Oh and this is on a killer machine as you can see - a Thinkpad 600E, 366MHz, 192MB but with a nice 40GB/8MB disk.

Ok, something slightly more accurate:

Athlon XP 2500+
Code:

     Wed Jun  2 16:33:10 2004 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.4.0-r6
       merge time: 26 minutes and 18 seconds.


Athlon 1GHz:
Code:
 * sys-devel/gcc

     Thu Sep 11 07:20:33 2003 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1
       merge time: 35 minutes and 8 seconds.

     Fri Jan  9 16:59:10 2004 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.2-r5
       merge time: 1 hour, 33 minutes and 51 seconds.

     Tue May 11 18:20:14 2004 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r3
       merge time: 41 minutes and 54 seconds.

     Mon May 24 17:47:50 2004 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r5
       merge time: 34 minutes and 8 seconds.

     Thu Jun 10 14:57:55 2004 >>> sys-devel/gcc-3.3.3-r6
       merge time: 38 minutes and 3 seconds.

I suspect some of those times were higher because I went from O3 to O2
