You'd better run it over network, then the job will be done over night.

According to your config, a make depend could take about 2 hours. Don't know
how much influence your low data througput does, but the dependencies take
about hald an hour with 8 VUPs. You have 2.8 VUPs i think. But compiling will
be hard... If you have low RAM and use swap, the compiler will be loaded every
time used i think... This might really take until next week or so :-)

Have fun... Michael
