Hey Nicholas!

 NB> Eh, to each their own. I enjoy it.

I suppose someone has to.  Happy to say it isn't me.  :-)

 NB> glibc comes to mind. Is that the one that takes anywhere from 2
 NB> to 10 hours to compile depending on hardware?) :)

Not since raspi have I witnessed anything that slow.  The kernel source takes longer.

As far as this machine goes - AMD Ryzen 7 5800U with Radeon Graphics - not that big of a wait.  Firefox only takes about 25 minutes.  Offhand I believe llvm might take the longest.

Life is good,
Maurice
