Taco, what's the state with this particular library dependency? Not 100% sure but I think it should be better now (or at least soon), as Thanh wrote he has updated the build script for pdftex. One thing to remember is that to make pdftex use a static libstdc++, the machine you are compiling pdftex on has to have the static version of libstdc++ installed. I have checked. There are both libstdc++5 and libstdc++5-3.3-dev pacakges installed on Debian and locate showed both .so and .a file, but I figured out that it also has libstdc++6 (which was not installed). How does pdftex building process decide which one to use in case that both are installed?

It may happen that you run into some infinite loop with one of your macros. Please also describe what platform you work on. With luatex memory might also be an issue, but that's probably not the case with pdftex. I tested 'texexec' on another computer (Kubuntu 7.10, TL2007, ruby 1.8.6) and it works, but I need it on [Debian 5.0, Gnome, ruby 1.8.7] where it fails. What's the time needed to run pdflatex on similar document size? I dont know; 'first-setup.sh' erased the path to the format files ;-) but 'pdflatex' was very clever. (I must reinstall 'texlive'.)
