It doesn't take 25 minutes here, how much memory do you have? It takes more like 5, which is still excessive :(
I disable winetest in my tree entirely, and have done for a long time. It should be disabled in CVS as well, nobody should be building winetest on Linux, it just encourages people to submit useless results by saying "oooh I wonder what happens if I do this". Worse this isn't just about it taking too long, on my machine attempting to compile winetest actually crushes it totally. It descends into swap hell and never seems to re-emerge.
I don't think having to hack the build system to avoid a full system hang is really a good thing, even if it is the kernels fault.
