I second this, my machine made a full bootstrap +docs build of Icedtea6 + Shark using LLVM 2.7 in 80min, great!
What arch is that?
The build was made on a ia32 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz system running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
I made the build out of tree using ../icedtea6/configure –enable-zero –enable-shark build options. I guess that I could have made the build even faster by adding –with-parallel-jobs=4 to really take advantage of all the CPU cores.
Is that really 32-bit? What does ‘grep ^ZERO /path/to/icedtea6/Makefile’ say?
For parallel stuff people often do one more than however many CPUs they have, to allow for one of the jobs to be waiting for IO.
Thanks for that tip i will try –with-parallel-jobs=5 next time then!

xerxes@xerxes-J464X:~/icedtea6-shark-full-build$ grep ^ZERO Makefile
ZERO_ARCHDEF = IA32
ZERO_BITSPERWORD = 32
ZERO_ENDIANNESS = little
ZERO_LIBARCH = i386
Looks ia32 to me!
Isn’t the Q9400 an x86_64 cpu? See these two links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q9400#.22Yorkfield-6M.22_.2845_nm.29
http://processorfinder.intel.com/Details.aspx?sSpec=SLB6B
So if this is indeed the case, my guess is that Xerxes is running a 32 bit version of Ubuntu on a 64 bit cpu.
Keep up the great work!
Ah, cool, I built mine on x86_64, so we have both Intels covered.
Xerxes, BTW, your machine would run faster if you installed 64-bit.
