Memory usage expands until no swap space is left. System Monitor shows 249M of user memory and 329M of swap, which used to be enough. Now it uses it all. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge wine Actual Results: It outputs: ../../tools/winegcc/winegcc -B../../tools/winebuild -mconsole gui.o main.o send.o util.o winetest.exe.dbg.o winetest.res -o winetest.exe.so -L../../dlls -L../../dlls/comctl32 -L../../dlls/user32 -L../../dlls/gdi32 -L../../dlls/wsock32 -lcomctl32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwsock32 -L../../libs/wine -lwine -L../../libs/port -lwine_port then memory expands utill it is killed, or the machine grinds to a halt, with no free memory or swap.

do all versions of wine do it or just this one ?
Just this one. At least my previously installed version wine-20050111-r2 builds normally.
Apparently it really does use that much memory. Adding more swap space allowed it to complete.
