Is there a way to speed 'automake' up?
While you are probably looking for system-independent advice, the best
results I've had with speeding up ephemeral builds is to simply use
/dev/shm for backing storage on Linux, i.e. first try to put build
directories there ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is also fine on modern Linux). If
the installation is not needed later on, you can also put the
installation path there.
This assumes your development system has a few GB of RAM to spare, but
nowadays RAM is cheap.
