I'm currently playing around with kaffe's CVS on Cygwin, and I find myself spending hours running the configure script over and over again, since Cygwin on Win98 is not very pleasant ;) The trouble is that I can do a full build of kaffe on linux on the same PC in 15 mins, including the configure run, but it takes at least 2 hours for configure alone to run through on Cygwin, when it doesn't crash.
So I'm wondering about ways to speed up configure, in particular on Cygwin, or ideas how to improve the configure.in checks for headers, functions, libtool etc. I'm using autoconf 2.58.
cheers, dalibor topic
