OT - speed of compilation

[Mike Martin <redtuxxx yahoo co uk>]

I dont know whether this is a problem with my system or not but
recompiling nautilus and gnome-desktop is taking forever

for example nautilus has taken two days so far (tho it is stopped
twice due RH 7.3 problems) but even so about 15 hours so far

It seems to be on libtool or tests

In addition while doing this the only processes running is /bin/sh

Anyone any ideas on this
