Good question. It is really the overall time. Sum of compile + link +
run.
Maybe some libraries just don't have much of a place in the regular
Compiler Status Tables. But it would be really nice if such a library had
some kind of simple test that at least hinted at whether or not it would
run with a particular compiler. Or is it better to leave it out of the
table altogether?
