22 With modest resources, it is often best to use an existing binary, and
23 build out the next/older version with that existing binary as a ref.
24 Older systems with modest resources, can easily be 'burned'

26 put a 12" fan blowing hard to keep the resources cool, especially for
27 large compiles... ymmv.
