- While building fairly large pieces of software like an
- entire UNIX system, kernel, commands, libraries, and
- everything, from source, we found that a good way of
- speeding everything up was to set up a minimum size
- environment (about 5 variables), then use 'ksh' as the shell
- that 'make' used all the time. This produced about a 1/4
- faster build (knocked about 90 mins off a six-hour build
- time). Of course, most of what 'make' does is 'exec' a
- shell...
