If you don't have a compiler or binutils toolchain installed, then make
buildworld isn't going to make it very far in general :)

But I also disagree with lumping it all together.  I'm not sure how long
Vinum and ACPI specifically take to build on my lower-end hardware, but
the full buildworld/buildkernel takes nearly an entire day, and that's
already with most of the NO_ flags (no profiling, no sendmail, no i4b,
no uucp) .  So any bit I can get helps :)
