Hello. Since the upgrade from 3.81 to 3.82, gmake has become so slow it's really a PITA. I noticed this in lots of projects: where 3.81 would start building immediately, 3.82 stops and thinks for some seconds. However, in a specific situation, where gmake should generate thousands of files, i switched from slightly less than a hour to more than three days!!! I'm not sure if this is a FreeBSD specific problem, or if it should be reported upstream. I'm just asking if anyone else has noticed and if he has any hint. Searching the web I've only seen reports on MinGW (whose possible reasons don't seem to apply here). Right now portdowngrade is my friend, but I'd really like to solve this. bye & Thanks av.
