Logically Peter's situation is the same as the NetBSD issue with
building and testing on old hosts. He is running GNU/Linux on
ColdFire and I suspect his ColdFire target is probably faster and better
equipped than the old UNIX boxes the BSD folks mentioned.
Its a 266Mhz ColdFire v4e machine, about 263 BogoMips, 1/20 the
BogoMips of my workstation, and with an NFS rootfs, it gets network
bound pretty rapidly and runs even slower compared to a NetBSD machine
with a local disk :)
I would have thought the CPU itself was comparable to or faster than
a 68040 or 68060 since they was always at much lower clock speeds.
Do you have any local disk or is everything NFS? If so, that would
be killer for performance. I remember an old pair of SparcStation 10's
we used to have. Network builds vs. local disk was already like 5-10x
slower.
How much RAM?
