A LONG time. I once compiled (or attempted to compile) Mozilla on an athlon
800 MHz. Took nearly 3 hours. Now if you reckon that a Sparc (at least with
GCC) will compile native code very roughly 3.5 times slower then a PC with
the same clock speed... [1] Well, you can always try, but don't blame me if
it takes a week :-)

[1] Based on compiling the GTK toolkit on a sun4m and athlon Xp
