FWIW, I consider a build broken if you have to re-start it. This can
hide real problems, because things get touched even if the build failed,
and although the build completes with a 'success' message the resulting
product may not be complete or correct. I have not had to do this with
the traditional classic builds on linux, or the builds on NT.

I admit I haven't built on linux for a while.
I've been using egcs-2.91.66, as distributed with SuSE 6.1.
Machine has 48 MB of memory.
