We all have the fastest computers we can buy, and since a kernel still takes a few minutes to compile on those computers, we try to use the fastest compilers to save *HOURS* at the end of the day. Nobody ever claimed that we all spend our time compiling on the target system. I wonder if thas would be possible on a 16 MB/200 MHz MIPS ;-) That's it.
