I re-ran this under a real machine: i5-13500, Win 11, NVMe SSD. Compile time is down to 10 minutes. As I now have the build files on my disk, I uploaded them to
https://nextcloud.iww.rwth-aachen.de/index.php/s/93ikMxF3fPMcNSY in case one wants to test the latest FreeCOM available from https://github.com/FDOS/freecom built with the latest OpenWatcom v2. I had to fix the build, as it is broken for the Windows + OpenWatcom v2 + CMD.EXE combination. Root cause of the build error is: https://github.com/FDOS/freecom/blob/ff675135ea9a43144ad3fd95f87c34663d9b6095/mkfiles/watcom.mak#L33 Seems someone wanted to comment out the listing generation by this and only tested under a Unix shell? As Eric indicated, the build scripts do a clean rebuild for every language / variant. That certainly leaves room for improvement. But as Tom noted, this should not be called that often. So not sure if it is worth investigating.
