The buildtime listed on the website is the build time relative
to the binutils package build (kind of inspired from Linux From
Scratch - LFS) to have a compariable "standard" meassurement.

The relative indicator should also compare to some degree
between different hardware.

You can find the value in the package's .cache file, the ones
om the homepage are generated from the T2 SVN sources, and
your fresh build will have the values of your system in
build/.../var/adm/cache/$pkg.

Yours,
