Speeding up the build process of OpenJDK

[Manas Thakur]

I could observe that hotspot itself takes more than 90% of the time. The compilation first takes approximately two minutes before the generation of the precompiled header. Then the compilation of various files takes about 15-20 minutes.

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?
