It takes 4 minutes to build 2.0.34 on a UP PPro 200/256 at work. This includes:
Standard stuff
Triton IDE, ATAPI CD
3C905TX
Serial
Parallel
ip_alias
multicasting

Ahh, but it isn't entirely. I have it on good faith (from a Borland hacker
friend) that intel "fixed" 16 bit code on the P2. Apparently it runs 16
bit code a lot faster than the PPro. However this is all moot, since I've
got Linux installed on all 11 of my PPros at work :)
