It is easily reproduceable.
It turned out that if you build groff with -DNO_CPU_CFLAGS (the way it is built during the bootstrap-tools stage of buildworld), it fails with the `out of memory' error in contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/new.cc. To reproduce, it is only necessary to build the following dirs, in order, with -DNO_CPU_CFLAGS: gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/libs/libgroff gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/roff/groff And then run groff from the latter as follows: groff -V More fun. Groff is built with -fno-rtti and -fno-exceptions: : RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/Attic/Makefile.cfg,v : Working file: Makefile.cfg : head: 2.13 : branch: : locks: strict : access list: : keyword substitution: kv : total revisions: 36; selected revisions: 1 : description: : ---------------------------- : revision 2.7 : date: 1999/04/04 16:44:33; author: obrien; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 : This is old C++ code -- no need for rtti or exceptions. If you remove -fno-exceptions from gnu/usr.bin/groff/Makefile.inc and recompile libgroff and groff, it seems to work (I did not check it thoroughly). But I think this only has a side effect, because Groff does not seem to have any exception code (please correct me if I am wrong), and why the hell it should depend on -mcpu, if any? I am Cc:ing our GCC gurus in a hope they can shed a light on this.
