Wow. What version of gcc, and what type of CPU? On a uniprocessor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+, with gcc version 4.3.0 20080117 (experimental) (GCC), it takes less than 8 seconds to build all three .o files and create libcoreutils.a, using -O3: $ cd coreutils/lib && rm sha*.o $ /usr/bin/time make --quiet 7.13user 0.22system 0:07.73elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+2808outputs (0major+36582minor)pagefaults 0swaps
