There is one particular testcase in compile that may cause all VM to be
consumed before cc1 fails. I suspect you happened to look at the cc1 process
while this testcase was being compiled. If so, then this result is not
typical, and hence not particularly useful, because it does not apply to
any other testcase.
make check takes forever because of the sheer amount of work that is being
done. Running the compiler 20000+ times while interpreting shell scripts
and TCL scripts obviously takes a lot of time.
