I'm not looking to compare...im looking to figure out if there is a
problem in Fedora's build..where the problem is. To understand that I
need to know exactly what the build time differences. You can choose
to help me do that by supplying the necessary details for me from your
gentoo build to find what could be causing the problem in Fedora's
build of FF... or you can just choose not to help.  If there is a
problem in the Fedora build, its not going to magically go away,
someone has to figure out where it is. I'm willing to put that effort
in all you need to do is give me enough information about your gentoo
build specifics so I can regenerate an equivalent binary on a Fedora
system.
