A kernel from June 1st built with 3.2.2 has its 'normal' speed. I'm > trying now I binary search to find the victim. This may be a red herring... My first post gcc 3.3 kernel took 12 hours to build on my U5. This was a GENERIC kernel since I hadn't recompiled since January (long story). The following two kernels also took 12 hours. Then I cleaned up the kernel config and its back down to around 4.5 hours... It could be a kernel debugging option maybe? Could be that a bit of hit/miss experimenting could find it. Here's my current config (4.5 hour 'make world'). -Steve /sys/sparc64/conf/SPARC ----------------------------------------- machine sparc64 cpu SUN4U ident GENERIC options SCHED_4BSD #4BSD scheduler options INET #InterNETworking options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols options FFS #Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES #Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL #Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH #Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT #Network Filesystem Client options CD9660 #ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS #Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS #Pseudo-filesystem framework options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 #Keep this for a while options SCSI_DELAY=15000 #Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options SYSVSHM #SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG #SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM #SYSV-style semaphores device apb # Sun APB PCI-PCI bridge device ebus device isa device pci device sbus device central device fhc options OFW_NEWPCI device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives device ofw_console # OpenBoot firmware console device device genclock # Generic clock interface device eeprom # eeprom (really an ebus driver for the MK48Txx) device "mk48txx" # Mostek MK48T02, MK48T08, MK48T59 clock device miibus # MII bus support device hme # Sun HME (Happy Meal Ethernet) device random # Entropy device device loop # Network loopback device ether # Ethernet support device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) device gif # IPv6 and IPv4 tunneling device faith # IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying/(translation)
