:Hi Matt,
:
:> I'm still playing with this. Actually, I'm still playing with this
:> for the first time! I started building the port on my workstation
:> yesterday afternoon and, well, it's *still* building 24 hours later!
:> Holy cow!

:Hehe.

:It takes 6 hours here with a fast Raid here, 512M Ram and
:a 2Ghz P IV :-)

:PS: What bulding system you have ?
I wanted to run it on my workstation so I made the mistake of building
it on my workstation, A 650MHz Celeron with 256M of memory. It's
entirely cpu bound. Someone pass the dunce hat... I should have
moved the build to a real box the moment I noticed that the distribution
file it was downloading was 116MB :-)
I *think* it's almost gotten to the point where the link issues
crop up. I already have some approaches in mind:
* Ld has a no-keep-memory option which may reduce VM use. I
am going to try that first.
* Reordering object modules and -l libraries may reduce
stacking issues.
And if all else fails:
* Pre-linking (ld -r) objects in smaller sets then doing a
final link will greatly reduce the final link stage footprint
by pre-resolving static symbol targets.
But first I have to get the build to the point where ld fails.
-Matt
