I'd be interested to pinpoint examples here. I'll almost bet that's the
compiler getting slower. It's been fairly well documented that as gcc goes
up in versions the slower it gets.

Otherwise vax has built from build.sh (cross mind you since I don't often
build native) on every release we've ever done in recent memory and will
on 3.0 as well. Just because it's broke on -current "right now" doesn't
equate to "over a year"...
