[ale] Linux compile taking *REALLY* long

[newcombe at aa.csc.peachnet.edu (Dan Newcombe)]

How much memory do you have???  On my 386/33(DX) w/8M with the 1.3.81 kernel 
(probably about the same size) it took at least 2 hours.  Gee....I 
remember when the kernel was so small it took <30 minutes on that 
machine!!!

However, your's sounds like it is going TOO slow.  Also, the step you 
listed (I think) is one of the first steps. (I think the kernel 
subdirectory is one of the first it hits.)
