That's ok, I'm trying to discover what is and isn't practical on a Pi3

Thank you, I think that's the information needed. Come to think of it, 
will the -j option, such as -j2, work in this situation also? Two threads
are much better than one 8-)

As it happens, the machine isn't stuck. Make still seems to be running, 
now it's up to [18466/30819], admittedly not making fast progress.  

I'll let it run for now, just to see what happens.

Thanks for your help,
