Hi,

I love the idea behind riscv, but I am concerned about riscv's current performance. As an example, the build times for gcc-13/gcc-14 on riscv is measured 5-13 days, which 1-2½ the standard testing delay.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=gcc-14&arch=riscv64

This slowest seems unsustainable. Consider for pu-uploads, the deadline for uploads are generally a week before the point release and this would still not be sufficient for riscv to build the package in time for the RT to include package into the point release.

This might be gcc specific problem or a concrete buildd being inadequate (linux, firefox-esr, and libreoffice seems to show much better build times). Nevertheless, I feel it warrants some analysis of the problem to understand if this will become a problem for Debian post release.


Best regards,
Niels
