You should be more careful where you stick your neck...

Once GCC is running, all indications are that compilation speed on
Linux and Windows are pretty much identical. The big problem on
Windows is the glacial speed of shell code under Windows ... both
autoconf and libtool. Libtool is a particular problem because it
gets run once per source file.
