That seems pretty normal to me nowadays.  My very vague impression is that
this has gotten worse in the past few months.  Nowadays I assume that every
m-i to m-c sync (twice a day) will entail more or less a full rebuild.

I would also say that, if your machine takes 65-70 mins for a clean build,
and that's on Linux, you need a faster machine.  I reckon on about 23 mins
for gcc6 "-g -Og", and clang can do it in just about 20.  Linking is also
a bottleneck -- you really need 16GB for sane linking performance.
