Hello Andrew, hello David,

thanks for your quick answers. Until today, I never considered my
machine "memory limited", but things do change... Obviously, I ran
into a combination of problems - slow compiler (gcc 4.0.0), too old
gmake, too small memory, and full bootstrap mode).

When (if) I next build gcc, I will try the --disable-bootstrap option.

Yes, along with the the Classpath merge / make problem, the other recent change on the trunk that effects build time was the change to perform a bootstrap build by default.

In addition to "--disable-bootstrap", you can also use "--disable-static" to further reduce build time. This stops a statically-linked copy of libgcj and other runtime libraries from being built - otherwise everything gets built twice.
