I have no issue with doing this, but wouldn't you prefer doing it
yourself?
If so, I can probably fix up a machine so that you could log into that
and attempt it there.

I don't think that's very helpful. Reducing optimization to -O1 will
indeed make the build go faster, but then the resulting binary will be
quite a bit slower. I think I prefer having a faster binary over
decreasing build time.
