I wonder how much time it takes to compile gcc-4.9.1. After "make" 2

It's highly dependent on your processor's speed and how many processors
you have.
I've got one system here where it takes about a week (no testsuite). On
the systems where I typically do builds it's a couple hours (testsuite
included). I'd bet on David M.'s box it's probably less than 30 minutes ;)
Certainly if you have a multi-processor using the "-j #cpus" option to
make will speed things up considerably.
