Yay, the list is taking my messages again! This isn't really a Shrike related thing, but you guys seem pretty knowledgeable... I just rebuilt all the SRPMS on a Gateway 9300 laptop with a slow 12GB hard drive, 160MB RAM, and a P3 650 and on an Athlon XP 1700+ with 512MB RAM, and a couple 80GB drives at 7200 RPM with 8MB cache. The laptop took 2 days to rebuild, and the desktop system, if it continues at it's current rate, will finish after about 6 days. It has already taken 3 days. Of course, I refuse to thing that the P3 is simply that good. :-p Is that normal? Is GLIBC slow with XP chips? I'm not experienced enough to know if I ought to use specific switches or anything. I'm using "rpmbuild --rebuild --nodeps --target=i686" on the laptop and "rpmbuild --rebuild --nodeps --target=athlon" on the desktop.
