The Sun3 is only a 20 MHz mc68020 (or 25MHz for the 3/260).
That, combined with small memory mean it will be slow doing
compilation no matter what you run on it.  If you give it more
RAM, a real disk, and fix the SCSI driver to do DMA, then it
would get to be reasonable (full build in a few days 8^)

I've been too busy keeping up with other things to work on the
SCSI driver much.  I wish I had more free time...
