A full (from scratch, with latest src changes) build is not done very often.
We guarantee we do it before release time; there are other times, as well,
(at least on i386/amd64).

Please let portmgr know if we need to update the package machines to the
latest -CURRENT to look for fallout.

An incremental build on amd64 takes 2-3 days, i386 4-5 day, sparc64 a
couple of weeks.  A full build can take twice that.  The following URL
will give you an idea of what the current build state is:
