Seconded on the "not for faint of heart", and my guess is that it
would take something like 24 hours to compile a binary inside
lilydev.

If you seriously seriously want to compile lilypond binaries,
install ubuntu natively, preferably on a multi-core machine.  On
my duo-core machine with hyperthreading (i.e. 4 threads at once)
and 3 gigs of RAM, it takes about 12 hours to compile everything.
