So I updated my stable/13 source and built and installed
the update, then did a rm -fr of the build directory
tree context and started a from-scratch build. The
build had:

SYSTEM_COMPILER: Determined that CC=3Dcc matches the source tree.  Not =
bootstrapping a cross-compiler.
and:
SYSTEM_LINKER: Determined that LD=3Dld matches the source tree.  Not =
bootstrapping a cross-linker.

as is my standard context for doing such "how long does
it take" buildworld buildkernel testing.

On aarch64 I do not build for targeting non-arm architectures.
This does save some time on the builds.

The results for the HoneyComb configuration I'm using:

World build completed on Thu Jun 24 15:30:11 PDT 2021
World built in 3173 seconds, ncpu: 16, make -j16
Kernel build for GENERIC-NODBG-CA72 completed on Thu Jun 24 15:34:45 PDT =
2021
Kernel(s)  GENERIC-NODBG-CA72 built in 274 seconds, ncpu: 16, make -j16

So World+Kernel took a a little under 1 hr to build (-j16).



Comparison/contrast to prior aarch64 systems that I've used
for buildworld buildkernel . . .


By contrast, the (now failed) OverDrive 1000's last timing
was (building releng/13 instead of stable/13):

World build completed on Tue Apr 27 02:50:52 PDT 2021
World built in 12402 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4
Kernel build for GENERIC-NODBG-CA72 completed on Tue Apr 27 03:08:04 PDT =
2021
Kernel(s)  GENERIC-NODBG-CA72 built in 1033 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4

So World+Kernel took a a little under 3.75 hrs to build (-j4).


The MACCHIATObin Double Shot's last timing was
(building a 13-CURRENT):

World build completed on Tue Jan 19 03:44:59 PST 2021
World built in 14902 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4
Kernel build for GENERIC-NODBG completed on Tue Jan 19 04:04:25 PST 2021
Kernel(s)  GENERIC-NODBG built in 1166 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4

So World+Kernel took a little under 4.5 hrs to build (-j4).


The RPi4B 8GiByte's last timing was
( arm_freq=3D2000, sdram_freq_min=3D3200, force_turbo=3D1, USB3 SSD
building releng/13 ):

World build completed on Tue Apr 20 14:34:38 PDT 2021
World built in 22104 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4
Kernel build for GENERIC-NODBG completed on Tue Apr 20 15:03:24 PDT 2021
Kernel(s)  GENERIC-NODBG built in 1726 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j4

So World+Kernel took somewhat under 6 hrs 40 min to build.
