Alpha (gcc-2.95.4) : real 5m45 user 5m13 system 9s
Alpha (gcc-3.0.2 20010924): real 4m36 user 4m12 system 10s C200+ (gcc-3.0.2 20010922): real 8m23 user 7m48 system 33s dual P3/700 (gcc-2.95.4) : real 1m20 user 1m17 system 3s

Be cautious. Unless you built cross compilers and each is building for the same target you are doing different amounts of work for each target CPU

In what way? It's not like the ./configure script will produce very = different
results on alpha vs parisc, it doesn't even check for 64 bits/32 bits differences. All this just demonstrated my gut feeling that compiling ( the kernel, for example) feels slower on parisc than it should be.

Looking at the high system time I guess there is work to do on the hppa, but it doesn't suprise me. It takes a lot of time to tune a port after it actually works reliably

It's exciting to be involved in - I fully agree.

Good luck,
