* lots of disk space (~400MB for i?86-linux; more for RISC platforms).
* plenty of time. Compiling just the shared and static libraries for
- i?86-linux takes approximately 1h on an AMD-K6@225MHz w/ 96MB of RAM,
- 45mins on a Celeron@400MHz w/ 128MB, and 55mins on a Alpha@533MHz w/ 256MB.

You should avoid compiling in a NFS mounted filesystem. This is
very slow.

A full build of the PowerPC library took 1h on a PowerPC 750@400Mhz w/
64MB of RAM, and about 9h on a 601@60Mhz w/ 72Mb.
