I agree. The situation appears to be related with threading from the
fact that it became better when hyperthreading was turned off.
However, I'd like to stick with hyperthreading and try to solve the
problem or to find workaround at least.

Does one of your systems have hyperthreading?

I hope I could do but I am not expert of OO.o build environment or
cygwin. I appreciate your help so far and I will try to figure it out.

The build was hanging with this message,

=============
Building project beanshell
=============
/cygdrive/d/OOo_2.0beta2/beanshell
-------------
mkdir.pl ./wntmsci10.pro/misc/build/BeanShell/
cd ./wntmsci10.pro/misc/build/BeanShell/ && dmake    && /usr/bin/touch.exe so_bu
ilt_ooo_beanshell

This seems to be the first place that build environment ran dmake,
correct? Do you have any idea on what command is invoked through tcsh
when dmake command is issued?

I learnt it from your IZ comment on '-f' flag. :-)  Actually, the
reason of my trying to build OO.o is to write a build guide in Korean
for bringing more Korean developers into OO.o world. So, I prepared
fresh installations of Windows XP and other tools, but it seems that
the current version of cygwin does not cooperate well. :-) For now, I
will put the '-f' workaround and performance warning into the guide.

By the way, as community member, thanks for your great effort to bring
better build environment!
