To add another piece of information to this discussion, last night I built the 
whole GNU Radio 3.9-maint on my Raspberry Pi, and it wasn't too bad.

I followed the instructions from here:
- https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGRFromSource_on_Raspberry_Pi
- 
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#For_GNU_Radio_3.9_and_Master_Branch
- 
https://github.com/gnuradio/volk#building-on-raspberry-pi-and-other-arm-boards-32-bit

The heavy step, which was the 'make' in the GNU Radio 'build' directory, took 
about 2 hours and 10 minutes on the Raspberry Pi using 'make -j 3' - I think it 
is a reasonable time considering I built all of the in-tree modules except for 
gr-uhd.
