I'm not sure if this was just the machine I was testing on, but the memory usage during linking appears to be fairly intensive. The system was low on swap space, and compilation actually triggered the OOM killer. I had the machine pretty loaded with other stuff so it wasn't a total surprise, but I'm curious if others are having this problem? Is it a new problem?
Same for me... compiling on a PIII with 192mb RAM+ 133mb Swap with no other intensive task running caused the OOM killer to kill almost everything (also the linker itself). I had to stop all the daemon i n background (apache & mysql, with non workload) and all the Xserver (with no desktop session active).
Also, are there things we could be doing to reduce the memory load during the final link?
