My 150 mhz laptop takes days to compile gcc and seems to get stuck on insn-attrb for many hours. It's been grinding away most of today in insn-attrb and has accumulated a couple of hours of cpu time in the process. It'll probably be done by Monday or Tuesday. Just start the emerge then go away and ignore it. It'll finish eventually. John Blinka -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
