Reminded me of building things on my first SGI - an Indy R4600 133mHz.
I built X manually, which took a rather remarkable twenty-two hours to
finish the make. Out of sheer masochism I then built Qt and KDE, which
took a little longer.
Boy does that 195mHz R10k SGI Indigo2 seem quick.

If you want to
build Perl or X or the kernel, what do you do? Start the
make and come back in a week?
Well, yeah ;) when my IIci was my "primary" server in the apartment, kernel
builds took about 8-10 hours.
