This seems a bit more problematic than I originally assumed. Consider for example agda on sparc: https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=agda;ver=2.2.6-3;arch=sparc;stamp=1267334936 sparc is not a fast architecture, but also not the slowest one supported by Debian. In this case, it failed to build the package because a single file needed more than 500 minutes to compile. If this is indeed not due to a bug, but expected behaviour, it seems not supportable anymore. How should slower archs (like mips*, armel) handle such packages? Is splitting this up in smaller files an option? Marc -- BOFH #89: Electromagnetic energy loss
