Description Rick Jenkins 2006-10-12 08:26:51 UTC

When compiling gcc-4.1, there is at least a serious slowdown, and on many machines a failure, when insn-attrtab is compiled. There are several threads on the forums about this, some involving machines with 512M of memory. This file seems to be automatically generated, and has become so large that one user graphically describes it as a "swapfest". Compiling on a machine with the specified minimum of 64M is not practical.

Is it possible to split this file?

Please report on gcc bugzilla, looks like an interesting issue for x86...
