Running Suse Linux 6.3 under VMWare box, I compiled it with option -02 without
problem, but the same under the host OS NetBSD 1.5, I got a "memory exhausted"  
error. 
One file has more than 100.000 lines of code, thus sometime ago I got because
of that a "file system full" error due to /tmp being only 100 MB in size!

Sorry, I didn't measured it, but it's not a problem of memory size,
more of the compiler/OS I think.


Finally I got it working with NetBSD-1.5-current, with
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
with -02 turned off and -lgcc added.
