Difficulty building first compiler on Myriad

I am following the first compiler recipes on Myriad, and it is extremely slow going and I had to cancel out a few times at the perl() build step.

Was wondering if others have seen a similar issue? I am going to try on Kathleen.
perl-5.36.0 is in the buildcache so it should be finding that one.
(There isn't a ccspapp buildcache on Kathleen or Michael yet, only on Young, so I'll get those set up today. You probably want to hold off installing first_compilers.yaml until those are there).
And if something is taking a long time to build (and it isn't on Myriad while we're having filesystem issues), don't cancel it, just leave it going - and always have it in a tmux or screen session so you can detach.
It is taking quite some time to fetch gcc from https://mirror.spack.io on Kathleen and Michael today - but appears to be getting there in the end.
It is slow. I left it on tmux for now.
Buildcache exists on Kathleen and Michael now, so installing first_compilers.yaml can be done now and should use those, assuming your buildcache is set to the correct location.
