Has anybody else experienced problems with the opt pass of Minix C running out
of memory after cpp and cem do their job?  I have done a chmem =64000 to all
Minix C compiler passes (and asld).  I also bumped up make and still the same
problem.  I have already beat the program (Bison (GNU Yacc)) into working in a
64K code/64K data & stack address space with Turbo C 1.5 and the small memory
model, so I know that Bison will work in a seperate I&D memory model.  I'm not
too fond of compiling from the DOS side of my machine for a program or two
that Minix C can't handle, but will run under Minix just fine.  I have the
copt-src.tar.Z from bugs.nosc.mil if that will help, but it demands unpacked
assembly code to do the job, and Minix C produces packed assembly code.  Is
there a better peephole optimizer out there or will copt-src.tar.Z work with
some minor hammering?  I hate to say it, but it might be high time to get on
the drawing board for a large model C compiler inspite of the problems and
time it will take to implement.
