I do "make -j2" and get about %170 of cpu utilisation (most of the
less-than-100% is due to phases in the build process where we only have
one process running, such as when running `configure'), so presumably my
6min would turn into no more than 10min if run sequentially.
Still pretty far from his 30min, so while "make -j" would help, the
inefficiency of the bootstrap is at least as important in his specific
case, I think.
