Hi, Your MAKEOPTS="-j24" seems a bit too much and could cause this (I don't have your problem with 4GB RAM and -j4 using gcc-4.5.2 aswell) Could you try with MAKEOPTS="-j1" please and report back ? Thanks
Yes I think it's the problem. I have eight cores with hyper-threading and -j16 has the memory problem too. I figured one gcc process may eat up 300+MB at most. Then -j8 works fine for me. Close it now. Thanks.
