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.

Nearly 4 hours to build C Fortran C++ on my Win8.1 4-core laptop. (with
"prerequisites" pre-installed). That's the worse case I encounter
routinely.
8 hours to run testsuite, with each language started in an independent
session. There are still occasional spurious time-outs and early
aborts. Attempting to run testsuite on faster Windows boxes is
counter-productive due to Windows holding files busy.
An obsolete linux box here will build and test in well under 2 hours.
