This happens for me too, but only on gcc-3.3. If you try make with
gcc-3.2 (and even better with CC='ccache gcc-3.2'), the problem isn't
near so bad.

And my machine is low-end, these days anyway: a celeron 600 with 192
megs of ram.

But I do agree that it's a problem. I think reducing the size of the
generated code is the best solution, personally.

I'm glad to hear that you're compiling the code :-) I'd be pleased to
have you on as a co-maintainer if you're still interested. My internet
connection is spotty, and I'm about to go on holiday in a couple weeks,
for the record.

Andy (another one ;)
