My compile on the VAXstation 2000 was at least a few

Are we talking *just* the kernel here, or are we talking compiling a
full distribution (all the utility programs, shell programs, X server,
X clients, etc.).
I have a really hard time believing it takes a few days *just* to
compile the kernel. Toss in the huge pile of additional programs
accessible from the shell or the X Window System and now we're talking
believable.
