The short answer: It depends.
Slightly longer: Does the laptop have an SSD, an NVMe disk or a
spinning hard drive? Which build options do you choose -- for
instance, do you want to build X as well, do you want to build the
graphics acceleration stuff (which requires building LLVM IIRC), etc.
pp.
Add to the questions:
* How much RAM do you have?
* Where is your /tmp located? tmpfs (in RAM)? SSD? spinning disk?
I think it's going to be a couple hours. You could run the build
overnight if you want.
If you're also building in-tree X11, you can add a couple more hours to
the estimate! :)
