Just out of curiosity: exactly how old? My dual-core amd64 system is almost 9 |
| 6 |
years old now, and systemd compiles in about 6 minutes: |

# genlop -t systemd |

* sys-apps/systemd |

(My system might have been pretty busy on that last one, and the second one |
| 30 |
must have been a binpkg merge.) |
