He, that is one reason we left ObjectAda (7.2 I think) on Windows 12
years ago.
It could take longer than so to link our executables
With gnat, it was fantastic, linking went down to a couple of minutes.
And still is, even if the exe-size is between 70 and 200 mb
on 32bit Aix (ppc), 32-bit Win (intel) and 64-bit Linux (intel)

How large is your library?
But on the pi - yes it takes quite som time.
But a modern Pi has is roughly the same umpf as a 2002-server,
