I decided to build R, since it’s big but fairly self-contained:

With a 4-processor XP VM, I can’t tell the difference between 1.7.28-2 and 1.7.29s (20140213) in terms of build time.  +/- a second or two over about 4.3 CPU-minutes of build time.  Configure time doesn’t change much, either.

My nsswitch.conf:

passwd: db
group:  db

I’ve tried it with /etc/files present and removed.

Waah.
