Hi Thomas.  Thanks very much for looking at my configuration.  I think you
certainly nailed it.
I have a lot of packages, and perl and mysql especially are taking a long
time.  My build recipes
for both of these are a year or two out of date.  In fact, my perl recipe
is still using qemu to build
instead of perl cross.  Hopefully updating this recipe will help some,
though as you pointed out
it is still using MAKE1.

Yep, very speedy SSDs and 64 GB for RAM.  Because of all the serialization
in this build process,
building from a large ram disk seems to make little difference.

Yes, I can certainly do that.  There's a lot here.  Much of it is obscure.
Please let me know which ones you are most
interested in.
