I am objecting. I only have 256 Mb of memory and right now I am barely
able to successfully compile src/buffer.C. Moreover, I cannot anymore
compile with debugging symbols because I get out of memory errors, and
have to selectively compile single files with -g.
I think that with such large files I will not be able to compile LyX.
No, I am not going to buy more memory (wouldn't fit in my laptop anyway)
or a new computer in the near future.
