Yes, along with the the Classpath merge / make problem, the other recent 
change on the trunk that effects build time was the change to perform a 
bootstrap build by default.
In addition to "--disable-bootstrap", you can also use 
"--disable-static" to further reduce build time. This stops a 
statically-linked copy of libgcj and other runtime libraries from being 
built - otherwise everything gets built twice.
