I see from the mmap man page that that can happen when the process's has reached the maximum number of mappings. It seems at least possible that you are running out of maps before you are running out of memory. On a GNU/Linux system you can see the maximum map count with "/sbin/sysctl vm.max_map_count". You can change that value using /sbin/sysctl -w. > I'm now trying my luck with > > "--param ggc-min-expand=0 --param ggc-min-heapsize=4096" > > Compilation is now by orders of magnitude slower, it's been already > compiling the single file for 6 hours, I don't know how far it got. Those options are just going to make the compiler run much slower, they are unlikely to reduce the maximum amount of allocated memory. > OK, and there is not any special option needed when compiling the gcc > compiler ?
