Found something strange. We seem to be generated identical .list files for
packages that exist under the gnu.java. hierarchy, but not under the java.
hierarchy. For example:
classpath/lib/lists/gnu-javax-swing-text-html-parser-models.list
and
classpath/lib/lists/javax-swing-text-html-parser-models.list
are identical, but only the package gnu.javax.swing.text.html.parser.models
exists.

I have not yet grokked the sed magic that makes this happen in split-for-gcj.sh

Might this be related to make-bug #1379 ("Don't use alloca() for automatic
variable values like $^, etc.  In the case of very large lists of
prerequisites this causes problems."), which has been solved
after make-3.80 was released?

At least on freebsd, I can build and install libjava by using
a recent cvs-version of make ( /usr/opt/scito/make/bin/gmake --version:
GNU Make 3.81beta4; This program built for i386-portbld-freebsd5.4 ),
with indeed still a maximum memory usage of about 350MB;
however, make-3.80 segfaults with a 'memory exhausted' error, even if I add
2Gig extra swap space.

This seems to be also tracked as a GNU Make bug at:
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15182
"Make uses too much memory"

make version 3.81 on Gentoo (ARM EABI) needs 712MB at this point with
gcc-4.2-20070307.  I've had to use a CF disk to add enough swapspace :(.  make
3.80-r4 (Gentoo includes a memory usage patch) uses even more.

[Bug libgcj/24154] New: Make requires too much memory building libjava

[ian at airs dot com]

GNU make requires too much memory building libjava.  On my system the virtual
memory size got up to 251M.  Since I only have 256M of RAM, make proceeded to
thrash.  I waited 45 minutes before killing it.

I am running i686-pc-linux-gnu, Fedora Core 4.

make hung at this point in the build:

make[4]: Entering directory
`/home/ian/gcc/bootstrap/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libjava/classpath/lib'

Confirmed. I am also seeing this on my old PPC box which has just 192MB real
memory.  Since it has enough swap it does finish after a couple of hours of
swapping like mad.
