Yes, the time of the first pass static binutils build in chapter 5.

Extracted build tree and installed size. There are various ways to get
this, the easiest is to use df before and after the build. I personally
use DESTDIR in my builds, and use 'du -shk' on the build tree and the
target DESTDIR after installation.

That would be perfect! However, there are more things to test before it
can committed. I know OOo (a huge time consuming beast) was broken when
building against 3.5.8. I'll get KDE built as soon as you get that
patch in here though, and get to work on that breakage for OOo. Let us
know if you find any breakage as you go through the rest of the packages
that you build. and thank you very much for the help.
