Bootstrapping on DEC Unix

    I've seen several reports on this list of "virtual memory exhausted"
    when trying to bootstrap gcc on DEC Unix 4.0x and 3.2x.

I've also seen this.

    Gcc bootstraps fine with --with-gc=simple and also fine with
    --with-gc=page if the HAVE_MMAP* macros are commented out in
    auto-host.h.

and also with the following, which I've been using for quite a while now:

*** ggc-page.c  5 Jan 2002 22:11:21 -0000       1.48
--- ggc-page.c  14 Aug 2002 10:02:48 -0000
*************** static struct globals
*** 355,359 ****
     free list.  This cannot be larger than HOST_BITS_PER_INT for the
     in_use bitmask for page_group.  */
! #define GGC_QUIRE_SIZE 16
 
 
  static int ggc_allocated_p PARAMS ((const void *));
--- 355,359 ----
     free list.  This cannot be larger than HOST_BITS_PER_INT for the
     in_use bitmask for page_group.  */
! #define GGC_QUIRE_SIZE 1
 
 
  static int ggc_allocated_p PARAMS ((const void *));
