"should"... I have things where ld takes many minutes on fast x86 machines with much better disk io than this machine will have. Back when I did bulk package builds on arm they were taking several months, and the ports tree was a fair bit smaller then. > I am trying to build php as the current bulk build failed on so many > packages.

(Generally I'd avoid using serial console on a live system unless I don't have another choice, especially if it's under stress).
