Wow.  What version of gcc, and what type of CPU?

On a uniprocessor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+,
with gcc version 4.3.0 20080117 (experimental) (GCC), it takes
less than 8 seconds to build all three .o files and create
libcoreutils.a, using -O3:

  $ cd coreutils/lib && rm sha*.o
  $ /usr/bin/time make --quiet
  7.13user 0.22system 0:07.73elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
  0inputs+2808outputs (0major+36582minor)pagefaults 0swaps
