Me too, and before the native versions of make and gcc it took some getting 
used to but now I'm perfectly happy with it. 5 seconds or 5 milliseconds is 
the same thing for me.

GCC is just one thing; NetSurf also needs Git, which looks like a huge beast 
that I don't see ever being ported to MiNT, since everybody except me cross-
compiles. Well, I guess you can get around Git itself, but NetSurf still 
relies on external libraries that are not available -- or outdated.
