Well, I'd argue that compilation time of full Wine tree is much longer
than that single test. If you compile from source it's your choice.

I wonder why you don't complain about programs/winetest linking times.

Even more drastic route to go is to go and complain to gcc people,
that's certainly not a Wine fault.
