Seconded on the "not for faint of heart", and my guess is that it would take something like 24 hours to compile a binary inside lilydev. If you seriously seriously want to compile lilypond binaries, install ubuntu natively, preferably on a multi-core machine. On my duo-core machine with hyperthreading (i.e. 4 threads at once) and 3 gigs of RAM, it takes about 12 hours to compile everything.
