well the FAQ says that on a p-166 1000 lines of source code persecond can
be compiled using -O2.
So it follows that on a p-166 your 10000 line program would take about 10
secs to compile. a long time indeed. But if your machine is better  there
might be some other reason for the slow down, like maybe not enough memory
so that gcc starts paging etc. So could you please just post the output of
go32-v2.exe.

Also the FAQ section 7.1 has info about slow compiling etc, you might wnat
to take a look at it.
