I believe the problem isn't the memory itself (this would lead to 'out
of memory' error) but in the stack overflow -- I checked this with
aranym, in its console (without mmu on) I offen see in such case
'stack magic error' or something like that. so maybe in case when I
will be able to set stack big enough (let's say 4 MB), it could fix
the problem -- see my previous post.

In general, it would be interesteting to know, why 256K is more than
enough for gcc 2.95 and so much insufficient for gcc 4.x :)

Oh yes, I had something like that in my mind. Question is if this will
work even in case of bus errors/memory violations. But it's true I see
'bus error, report bug bla bla' and then properly exiting make, so...
it's worth try.

Probably I'll try this, too. To this day I've had that patience to fix
all by hand (to mark '-O1' only files which really needed it) but
probably we should focus on building it at first and then to play with
-Ox flags.
