What could this sentence possibly mean?

"His crew can build a more than 1GB in about 15 minutes (after stripping out debug information)"

1GB binary? 1GB of PHP? 1GB of C++ output? None of these sound like a good idea.

Stop playing telephone and just read the original: http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/hiphop-fo...

I think it's the output. Also, the timing is relevant as the project documentation keeps talking about distributed compiling etc. I think that's how the sentence was meant: we can compile 1GB in 15 minutes (speed).
