The limit is OS or shell and not compiler dependent (as I understand it) and depends on what your stack size limit is. The default is often 8MB. You can view you current limit using the 'ulimit -s' command. It shows the limit in KB. You can set it to unlimited (or some other reasonable value) with the same command: ulimit -s unlimited or ulimit -s 16384 to increase it to 16MB.

Found it, the definition of one of the automatic was too large. It crashed on startup. Reducing the size made it work. What is the limit? gcc 3.3.3 from Debian Unstable.
