Make hell of compilation in Linux enviroment

So i have 486dx4 CPU running 120MHz. And i want to build X.org. etc.

It takes insane time in make process, and it repeats in every package and directory.
Like checking:
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking return type of signal handlers... void
checking for rename... yes
checking for fchmod... yes
checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no
Its not fast, and every make will do this. Why isn't there per source build one check and that is it. Like why? If source code is small it takes longer in make checking then compiling...

Like make one include file and done.
