WHY not?

Everyone seems to only can say no and not to make some suggestions.

the complete project BAS/c is build on this buildtime-database. This was 
the generally idea behind this whole project.
To provide a really special feature to any user. The ability to determine 
how long a merge of a never installed before package could take.
For this we've choosen the same system as LFS. LFS works with the "SBU" 
wich stands for the factor how long a package would compile in 
comparison with the compiletime of bash.

The GU is *our* factor which uses gcc to calculate these GUs for the 
packages.

But hey, sure, we can also take every other package or sourcecode to 
determine this GU.
We've chossen gcc, because this is on really *every* gentoo-system 
installed and big enough to get an accurate GU. 

Perhaps we can create a little benchmark-program which will be compiled 
when basc was run for the first time. This could also be an idea.
