Yeah :/ Though with Ricardo's caveats that on an x86-64 machine it's more like 2 or 3 hours. This is "fixed" in the tarballs because the person who generates the tarballs makes sure to prebuild a set of compiled scheme files for common architectures, and those get picked up by the build. Otherwise yeah, slow, sorry about that :( More background: https://wingolog.org/archives/2016/01/11/the-half-strap-self-hosting-and-guile Andy
