Subject: HELP! GCC exhausts 3b1 virtual memory

   First, of all thanks to all those who sent me patches that would
   allow gcc to compile on my 3b1.  

   Now, on to the current problem.  I have managed to get gcc, version
   1.35, to compile using cc.  The executable of the parser is about
   6.6M and appears to run correctly.  After completing the initial
   make, I tried to recompile gcc with itself, as the installation guide
   suggested.  The compile proceeds smoothly until the cc1 starts work
   on c-parse.tab.c.  After thinking about it for a few minutes unix
   complains about virtual memory being exhausted, and the make aborts.

   Below is all the relevant information I can think of:

     - My system is a 3b1 with 2M of onboard memory. ( 40M drive ).
     - I do not have Bison running so a new c-parse.tab.c has not been
       created.
     - The compilation always aborts in the same place.
     - I have attempted to create more space ( swap I assume ) by
       running as root with no window manager.  I have even gone
       so far as to kill off the phone manager and lp scheduler to 
       free up more space.
     - The initial compilation with cc was using -O.  So gcc, cc1, and
       cpp are optimized.
     - I have the same problem attempting to compile GNU Emacs file 
       regexp.c.

    Any body have ideas?  Encountered the same problem?  Any and all
    help is appreciated.
