I'm on an old 512Mb RAM / 1Gb swap system. Up to seamonkey-2.9.1 I was able to build from sources.
emerging 2.9.1-r2 dies with "collect2: ld terminated with signal 9 [Killed]" and I see swap space being eaten up quickly towards the end of the build. gcc is 4.6.3, I also tried 4.5.3 with same result. Building from a console without X and all the servers down hits the same problem. CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" I browsed through gcc options and did not find anything to minimize memory requirements other than reducing optimization level, but I suppose that impacts on compilation and the problem occurs during linking. Do I have any option other than increasing the swap space or going with the -bin package? thanks, raffaele
