Um, yeah. The first I ever tried to build a new gcc, it took me several *days*. But that was a long time ago and a hardware platform far far away (you kids ever use a SPARCstation 20?).
Yes, but I think that came around *after* the PDP 11s, the Varian 620i and the EAI 8400 (full flight simulation of 747 w/Space Shuttle piggyback in 48K of *core*)!
