    gcc8 building 20 hrs and no end: at what point to give up?

    I am trying to build gcc8 via Macports on G5 Quad running 10.6 PPC. I have built gcc7 earlier (thanks to helpful suggestions of kencu here), and it took about 7 to 9 hrs from what I recall. But now I am at 20,5 hrs with no end seen. Wonder if the compilation is hopelessly stuck or I should wait...
