I did this in 2001 on a 200MHz Pentium with 128MB RAM. Took about eight hours. Great experience. I understand it still takes about eight hours. Faster CPUs but busier software cancelled each other out. Some things never change. | ||

Getting all of LLVM mesa linux cmake ninja glibc gcc binutils xorg KDE to work is more work than in 2005 or 2010. Also GNU configure feels as if nobody maintains it anymore. I still keep libtool around for legacy reasons but I don't like that. | ||
