much larger memory consumption on sparc ?

[Marc Espie <Marc dot Espie at liafa dot jussieu dot fr>]

While compiling Lynx on a sparc-openbsd system, process size limit got
exceeded in LYMainLoop.c.

I've investigated some more on another sparc system (solaris 2.6) and
pitted egcs-current against gcc 2.8.1.

Basically, egcs is using 24MB of memory where gcc was using only 12MB.
Memory consumption suddenly jumps up through the cse pass of the `mainloop'
function.

Is this normal ? namely, is there some buffer allocation strategy at work ?
I don't know enough about egcs memory handling to know for sure.

Otherwise, this might be a good clue to a largish memory leak...

source file NOT attached, as it is rather largish.

You can retrieve a preprocessed, trimmed version that exhibits that behavior
from
