Subject: Speeding up the bootstrap build - a quick hack.
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2022 20:26:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YeXQ4FszqwRcmD1v@ACM> (raw)

Hello, Emacs.

I sense some unhappiness about emacs-devel occasioned by my branch
scratch/correct-warning-pos, because the build on the branch is a little
slower.

The following may go some way to fixing this slowdown.  Its idea is to
build the lisp directory first by compiling the byte compiler and then
using this to build the native compiler, rather than building the native
compiler directly from interpreted list.

With the amended makefile, my build took 6m 7s.  Before the amendment,
it was around 7m 16s.  This is a saving of around 15%.

This patch is at the stage of being a crude hack, and it has been tried
only on GNU.  It might work on other systems, though.

Enjoy!
