(jtomko may have something to say about that, since he's been interested in shaving fractions of a second off the build time in the last few days :-O) Am I going to need to carry a local patch to revert this so that I don't get *even more* bored waiting for builds to complete? Or is there a reasonable way to make it easily configurable with a switch to autogen? (even then I would still need a patch to the specfile, unless we could make it happen based on some environment setting).
