From Rich Paul:
I've noticed that when I compile busybox on my laptop, it compiles more slowly than one would expect, and although it's a (more-or-less) multiprocessor system and I use -j5, make never seems to run more than one job at a time. I believe I have found the culprit:  each time a file is compiled, gcc runs about 5 times.  This is because the $(check_gcc) macros and the TARGET_ARCH macros are late binding. The attached patch cuts the compilation time by 66%, from 1.5 minutes to 30 seconds.  Your mileage may very.  These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
