It use to take me a day (~20h) to rebuild each of: www/firefox,
www.seamonkey, mail/thunderbird.
In general I'm satisfied with speed of their work though.
Starting from v17 upgrades I experience the problem I can't see the solution
so I even don't ask about it. The details is that for all the 3 ports almost
everything builds and then while linking the main (or almost the main) binary
the compiler gets to lose the 'JSAutoCompartment.o'.
I know I can buy some cloud to rebuild but is it of any rational if every
hardware-like-mine owner shall follow this way when we can have it
centralized?
Thank you.
