Thanks to boost.python being a huge pig with insane amounts of macro nonsense to make it work with ancient compilers, gcc needs something like 512MBytes per process when building the python bindings. The check in the Paludis ebuilds is there because I was getting sick of people wanting to know why their kernel OOMed. I'm not aware of any other packages using that check... Even other ones that probably should... -- Ciaran McCreesh
