gcc-2.95.3 + 1.3.0cvs + build in source tree so subtract about 35MB
for sources

du -s lyx-devel/
600448  lyx-devel

size src/lyx
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5115847 1227720   52068 6395635  6196f3 src/lyx

du -s src/lyx
122404  src/lyx

This is not trivial. It also takes forever on a PIII-450 (with 384MB
so there's minimal swapping).

I'll see about trying out Lars' patch.

For the record 1.2.2cvs takes 21m30s to compile on this box with
lyxstring and with no other load.
