Surely not on modern hardware? Even something as complex as
OpenSolaris builds in well under an hour on a decent desktop.

I don't know. It was some time ago. But the application was
considerably larger than an OS---most are these days. And we
needed to build it for several different configurations. And of
course, the build process involved running the unit tests for
every component.
