I think your findings might be affected by caching, did you take that into consideration?
I removed the extracted directory each time before doing another configure run. That should have taken care of caching effects I think.
Running this thing in /tmp (i.e. tmpfs) should be just fine. You can always run something like sudo su -c 'echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' prior configure. Alas, glibc won't build for me if dash is linked to /bin/sh, maybe someone can reproduce this behaviour as I don't think this issue is related to my architecture (x86_64) or gcc version (4.5.0) as the build works just fine with bash as /bin/sh. regards, Thomas -- Someone has messed up the kernel pointers
