Hi list: Is it me or does gcc take more disk space to compile now?
I am trying to upgrade to gcc-4.3.2, and the compile stopped become it ran out of disk space--after eating up ~700 MB in /var/tmp. I seem to recall running into the same problem with the 4.3.1-r1 that I have installed at the moment. After cleaning out some cruft, I starting the compilation with 1.3 GB left on the partition, and so far it has used close to 800MB one-hour into the emerge. I don't remember gcc-3 being such a resource hog when building. So I wonder: is this the expected behaviour or is something wrong with my box? W -- "Fucking shit, man, this is ridiculous."
