I'd like to have a dime for every configure script that checked for things
such as Fortran and then that information was never utilized during
the build at all.

I think a lot of packages have a configure that checks for just about
everything simply because the developers never put forth the effort
to trim down to what tests they actually need. (At least this is what I
suspect, I'm not certain of it.)

Anyway, IIRC, enabling objective-C, java, and/or Go support really
increases the gcc build times quite a bit. So, that would be a major
factor with slower machines.


  Cheers,
