You mean KDE 1.94?

mcopidl.cc is a huge file.  If you run low on swap, it may take forever
or close to that.  I recommend at least 200MB of memory minimum to
compile the entire suite (including physical and swap).

Yeah, that's the bottleneck.  For your system I suggest using packages.
Unfortunately, mcopidl.cc obviously needs to be broken up, but hasn't.

For reference, I have a dual PIII-500 w/ 512MB of memory, and the new
box I'm building will have a dual PIII-600E w/ 640MB.  The former takes
approximately 5 hours to build the entire suite.
