40 hours? The only way I could see a kernel taking 40 hours to compile is
if you had a Mac Classic II or something like that - 16 MHz 68030 with a
16 bit memory bus, perhaps on a really slow hard drive with 10 megs of
memory.

A 40 MHz 68040 Quadra 650/800 can compile the entire NetBSD source tree
(without the kernel) in about 35 - 38 hours, provided you're running a new
enough kernel that SCSI isn't really slow.

Hmmm...
