It takes about 5 days if you build all ITK,
including examples and testing natively
in the board.

and about 14 hours if one cross-compile it:

Nope.

The Raspberry Pi has the same specifications of the
computer for which we designed ITK ten years ago:

                       512 Mb RAM

Memory was not an issue while building.

Never say never.... :-)

With $5,000 worth of Raspberry Pis (and some
LEGOS) one can build a modest supercomputer.   :-)


Note that each Raspberry Pi is a $35 computer,
or even $25 if you get the model without Ethernet
port and a single USB port.

At that price one can get 100 Raspberry Pis for
the cost of a regular laptop.
