PyQt library's ./configure script has a switch "-c", that causes the compilation of a whole big cpp file instead of several little cpp files, speeding up the compilation sensibly. Ebuilds for PyQt used to use this switch until 3.15, but the one for 3.15.1 doesn't. This results in compilation being slowed down to a crawl. Just for comparison, on my athlon 2800+ compilation with -c completes in less than 7 minutes, without -c it requires more than 20 minutes. I'm attaching a patch for PyQt-3.15.1.ebuild . Also, 3.15.1 should really be moved to x86 stable. It has lots of bugfixes compared to buggy 3.13 (which is currently in x86 stable). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

No, see Bug 75125 and this version will not go stable soon either.
