Hi,

Please configure gcc-16 with --enable-checking=release on all
architectures (currently it is only done for amd64). Now that GCC 16 is
the default GCC version, it has a significant impact on package build
time.

For GCC 15, this configure change was done before the default GCC
version change.

Regards
Aurelien

doing that for the next upload.

However, all these build times are still much shorter by orders than the
ones for riscv64.  riscv64 really is the blocker and delaying most of
the package migrations.

Hi,

Thanks!

Well this is not a question about riscv64 vs other architectures. There
is a penalty for *all non-amd64 packages*. For instance this increases
the build time of the uhd package by a factor 1.9 on ppc64el.

This is still a fact that riscv64 is way slower than other
architectures, but that's not the topic of this bug.
