the options for compiling mame are :
make NOWERROR=1 OPTIMIZE=2 PYTHON=python2
but I did also a test with no options ( by typing "make" ), each time the
problem occurs if the system memory ( physical memory and swap memory ) is less
than 1.5 Gb,
it's easy to reproduce the problem by creating a virtual machine with
virtualbox ( 1 Gb ram, 512 swap ), download the source code of mame and then
compile it with gcc 4.7.2, after a long time the compilation will fail at this
stage :
Compiling src/emu/cpu/tms32051/tms32051.c...
Generating TMS57002 source file...
obj/sdl/build/tmsmake src/emu/cpu/tms57002/tmsinstr.lst
obj/sdl/emu/cpu/tms57002/tms57002.inc
Compiling src/emu/cpu/tms57002/tms57002.c...
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:3066: Warning: end of file not at end of a line; newline
inserted
{standard input}: Error: open CFI at the end of file; missing .cfi_endproc
directive
gcc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
it fails because there was not sufficient memory to do the compilation, I can
check it by typing "free -m" often in a console,
but with an older version of gcc ( 4.4.5 ) there is no problem
