I don't know about that - I compiled the GNU CC sources on a standard
Atari ST with 4Meg and a 700k Ramdisk for the intermediary files
and it took me something like 8 or 9 hours. The time is just a guess,
I started one Friday evening and, with various timeouts and problem
tracking, I finished sometime early Saturday morning. I was pretty
beat for a while after that. 

Note this was just the compiler driver, C pre-processor, and C compiler
driver proper. I didn't get to the assembler yet.

You also need something like a 20Meg partition (I used 32Meg)
just to hold all this.

I would use my SUN/3 at work, but, so far, I just get core dumps
when I try to compile the GNU compiler with itself. It takes
quite a while on the Sun/3, too.
