Keep in mind that stock CircleMUD compiles using gcc's -O2 option for
the highest possible level of code optimization. This adds
significantly to the time it takes the code to compile. If you're
just doing debugging and testing, you can significantly speed up the
build by editing the Makefile - go to the CFLAGS line and remove the
"-O2". When you're ready to build the final production server, put
the -O2 back in.
