[Bug bootstrap/30229] New: Out of memory error during make of gcc 4.1.1

["thomas dot arp at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Here's the last part of the build output:

As you can see, there's no limit issues. The question is: why does cc1 try to
allocate another 70MB ? I can see no easy way around this.

I'm trying to compile on a machine with about 12GB of virtual memory, so
I'm unsure why gcc crashes on me.

Here's some more info about my system:
