If linux overcommitment of memory is turned off by setting /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory to 2, sbcl fails to compile (or if it is already installed: to run). It tries to allocate 8 GB RAM on intial running it seems, which is insane. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory 2. emerge -av sbcl Actual Results: Full build log attached below, the interesting bit is however: -64-bsd-os.h ./src/runtime/darwin-langinfo.h ./src/runtime/gc-internal.h ./src/runtime/validate.h ./src/runtime/parse.h ./src/runtime/x86-darwin-os.h ./src/runtime/monitor.h ./src/runtime/thread.h ./src/runtime/pthread-lutex.h ./src/runtime/alpha-arch.h ./src/runtime/ppc-linux-os.h ./src/runtime/x86-64-arch.h ./src/runtime/util.h ./src/runtime/fixnump.h ./src/runtime/pseudo-atomic.h ./src/runtime/os.h ./src/runtime/vars.h ./src/runtime/gencgc.h ./src/runtime/ppc-arch.h ./src/runtime/save.h ./src/runtime/interr.h ./src/runtime/core.h ./src/runtime/ppc-darwin-os.h ./src/runtime/x86-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/alpha-osf1-os.h ./src/runtime/target-arch-os.h ./src/runtime/alpha-linux-os.h ./src/runtime/target-os.h ./src/runtime/x86-win32-os.h ./src/runtime/osf1-os.h ./src/runtime/breakpoint.h ./src/runtime/linux-os.h ./src/runtime/bsd-os.h ./src/runtime/gc.h ./src/runtime/hppa-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/dynbind.h ./src/runtime/lispregs.h ./src/runtime/win32-os.h ./src/runtime/darwin-os.h ./src/runtime/x86-sunos-os.h ./src/runtime/mips-arch.h ./src/runtime/x86-arch.h ./src/runtime/mips-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/sparc-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/runtime.h ./src/runtime/mips-linux-os.h ./src/runtime/sparc-linux-os.h ./src/runtime/target-arch.h ./src/runtime/x86-64-darwin-os.h ./src/runtime/target-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/undefineds.h ./src/runtime/sparc-sunos-os.h ./src/runtime/search.h ./src/runtime/x86-64-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/ppc-bsd-os.h ./src/runtime/x86-bsd-os.h ./src/runtime/interrupt.h ./src/runtime/ppc-lispregs.h ./src/runtime/globals.h ./src/runtime/alloc.h /$scratchfilename=/tmp/canonicalize-whitespace-1.25805.tmp /$f=./customize-target-features.lisp //entering make-host-1.sh //building cross-compiler, and doing first genesis mmap: Cannot allocate memory ensure_space: failed to validate 8589869056 bytes at 0x1000000000 (hint: Try "ulimit -a"; maybe you should increase memory limits.) * * ERROR: dev-lisp/sbcl-1.0.9 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2481: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * env - HOME="${T}" PATH="${bindir}/src/runtime:${PATH}" SBCL_HOME="${bindir}/output" GNUMAKE=make ./make.sh "sbcl --sysinit /dev/null --userinit /dev/null --disable-debugger --core ${bindir}/output/sbcl.core" || die "make failed"; * The die message: * make failed * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/dev-lisp:sbcl-1.0.9:20080327-132249.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lisp/sbcl-1.0.9/temp/environment'. * Expected Results: It should not require to be able to mmap 8 GB RAM.
