Hi,
GNU autoconf is a bottleneck for compiling packages - especially on
multi-processor boxes. It supports the idea of a cache, but provides no
tools for maintaining the cache at all.
I've put together an experimental patch for Portage 2.0.50-r10, which
maintains a cache for configure to reuse. You can find it here:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~stuart/confcache/
Once you've patched and re-installed Portage, to activate the cache, make sure
you have both 'sandbox' and 'confcache' set in FEATURES in /etc/make.conf.
This feature only helps ebuilds which call 'econf'.
I'd be interested in getting some feedback on this patch, as well as any
suggested improvements.
Best regards,
Stu
