Thanks for the pointer. However, 'free' gives this output:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 62372 61568 804 0 22588 17148
-/+ buffers/cache: 21832 40540
Swap: 129016 6636 122380
which leads me to suspect that memory is not the problem in this case. (Unless
iconvconfig allocates huge amounts of memory.)
Is it possible that building with compiler flags other than those specified in the
ebuild could affect my build negatively, making these problems appear?
Thanks again.
Henrik.
