Tried the merged gcc spell yet? For folks also installing g++ and gfortran, 
this should be a huge improvement. But OK, it's not 1/10 of compile time, 
what one would like to see... also, I switched back to more conservative 
optimization flags. Even -O2 take considerable time (hm, I have -O2 atm ... 
but well, when I'm shorter on time, just -O helps).
But in practice I must admit that I, too, don't upgrade stuff too often. Not 
just because of long time to build but also because it always needs manual 
intervention. Something is always broken. But, well, that is not enough to 
drive me to another distro ... especially considering the effort and time I 
spent on getting some basic stuff built to my liking on that Solaris account 
I need to use at work. I want the pain of being not normal, apparently;-)



Alrighty then,

Thomas.
