be more specific about exactly what 'kbt' includes, ie make depend?

for me if I "make clean && make depend", then "time make -j8"
runs in 89-95 seconds (1:29/1:35) on an 2xP6-233x512,
and around 1:45 on a 2xP6-200x512

there should be a bigger difference between your 2 systems, and both seem slow.
what times do you get if running only one CPU on each?
