This smaller difference might be due to mold. > I'm open to taking a patch to improve the build time on riscv64, or > drop the architecture for now. Using mold and building with -g1 might get the build time under 1 day (untested), but even 52 hours is still less than the runtime of the testsuite of gcc (whose results are ignored) - and is in general not extraordinarily long. I'm not saying this is good, but with the current buildds 11 days was too much but 2 days is OKish. > Regards > Graham cu Adrian
