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?
