MAKEALL is indeed consuming.  But I wanted to follow up here on
something I've talked a little about on IRC now.  On my local box I've
cut the time it takes for MAKEALL -a powerpc down from 60min to 33min by
using BUILD_NBUILDS=6 BUILD_NCPUS=1 (on a 6 processor (grep -c processor
/proc/cpuinfo)) box.  I've seen similar reductions on my just TI parts
builds.  Not that this solves all of our problems, but it should help.
