oracle-jdk-bin fails to emerge on an 8GB machine running a 32-bit environment. This is the same issue as reported and fixed in #405239 for sun-jdk. The same workaround works for oracle-jdk-bin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge oracle-jdk-bin Actual Results: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred.

Created attachment 346718 [details, diff] Patch to the ebuild Well, *almost* the same fix as sun-jdk.
This still happens with oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.25. Any chance of applying this small patch?
This is now done in: oracle-{jdk,jre}-bin-1.7.0.65 oracle-{jdk,jre}-bin-1.8.0.11 Thanks for the report.
