Symptoms are that gcc blows up, taking all memory & swap and dying from out-of-memory.

Changing -O3 to -O2 makes it compile OK.

Please post your emerge info:

We'll need to find out if this is ppc specific.

[Comment 3 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-05-25 17:17:39 UTC]

I can reproduce this with gcc-3.4.6 and gnumeric-1.6.3.  I'm testing with gcc-4.1 to see if it's still a problem with that.  Either way, I'm fine with forcing -O3 to -O2 on ppc if you're okay with it.

[Comment 4 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-05-25 20:33:53 UTC]

It doesn't happen with 4.1.  What would you like to do?  I'd suggest replacing it with a comment that suggests to remove the replacement when 4.1 is stable.

Okay?

[Comment 5 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2006-06-15 06:27:30 UTC]

Seems to be ppc-specific since i've built mine with -O3 on x86.
I say go for it Joe.

[Comment 6 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-07-07 12:56:33 UTC]

Since we've marked gcc-4.1.1, this bug is essentially squashed. :)

Thanks!
