When compiling kmail with Debian's dpkg-buildpackage, cc1plus is killed by the kernel due to memory shortage. This shows when using either g++ 4.0 or 4.1. Files (including .ii files) are on the following URL: http://errors.linuxonly.nl/gcc/ G++ version: g++-4.0 (GCC) 4.0.4 20060904 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.3-7) g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061028 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-19) System type: Linux sjord 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 #2 Wed Jan 4 06:25:54 CET 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux Compiling file: libkmailprivate_la.all_cpp.cpp
Can you report what options you are using to compile? Actually just copy and paste the exact command that is running out of memory.

I have the same problems too on an x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. No distrib it's build from stratch. Using built-in specs.

It does compile (with gcc 4.1.1-15 in Debian amd64), but cc1 eats ~ 1 GiB of memory.
4.1 is just too old, and this issue is too vague to be able to identify if there is a problem at all, or g++ just needs that amount of memory. Sorry, I am closing this. If you can isolate a single file that makes g++ suddenly increase memory without apparent limit, you may try generating a reduced preprocessed testcase: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/#need and reopen this.
