Yes, "he" does, although "he" would not call it a fast system, unless "he" builds
on an amd64...

I think with 2.6 that went up to 8h, it was 6h with 2.4. Cross-building
takes about an hour or so on a PIV, so an insignificant amount of time.
Anyway, there are a few m68k patches out for atari (which we do not build
currently) which are not yet in svn. Also at least my mac could use some
fixes for the network hardware, but those still have to be written, which
will probably take a few more weeks. I would prefer to get that all in in
2.6.19, which makes patch handling easier for me. Plus I have no time to
work on this at least until saturday, and that day is reserved for doubling
the speed of our two fastest m68k buildds.
