I've also seen gcc go beserk and start taking up over 150 MB of memory on a pretty simple compile 'cause it got confused and take forever to compile. Last time I saw this happen, I waited a half-hour to see if it would eventually compile. Meanwhile, the memory usage was pegged at 99% or so. Eventually I just killed the process. With -O2, the same file took 10 seconds to compile.
