That does seem a bit longer than I'm used to (it takes me about half that
time on a Pentium III 600MHz/128Mb RAM/Win2000, NTFS volume); are you maybe
trying to build on a FAT volume?
As Jonathan humorously pointed out to you, building under cygwin is slower
- much slower - than building under Linux. It seems that every time a tool
(e.g. gcc) exits, one or more DLLs get unloaded and need to be reloaded for
the next tool. Sloworama.
