Re: GCC 4.1: Buildable on GHz machines only?

Sigh, Linux works the same way.  Processes can exceed their HARD
ulimit if there happens to be memory available, making RLIMIT_RSS
basically useless.

Perhaps we can use --param ggc-min-expand=X --param ggc-min-heapsize=Y options? I've tried here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-05/msg00967.html

and got some interesting results which might be more similar to the machines with low memory.
