Speeding up the build process of OpenJDK

[Manas Thakur]

Hello all,

I use OpenJDK 8 built on Mac OS X Yosemite. The compilation process after doing even minor changes is very slow (takes about 15-20 minutes; with ccache enabled). Is it because the gcc version I have to use on Yosemite is older (gcc 4.2 supplied with Xcode 4.6.3)? If yes, any ideas on speeding up the incremental builds?

Regards,
Manas
