My powerpc machine also has 1G of RAM and also got internal compiler errors from eg++ while building devel/llvm. Sometimes, I got C++ syntax errors without an internal compiler error. The errors were not reproducible, so I built more of llvm by doing `make rebuild` multiple times, until the errors became too frequent. Other programs had problems: fvwm and xterm sometimes crashed; tmux and cc1plus sometimes got stuck like an infinite loop. I suspect that I had corrupt RAM. 1G of RAM is not enough to build devel/llvm, so my machine needed to swap. Using swap seems to cause the errors. I don't know if my hardware (an old PowerBook5,4 running OpenBSD/macppc) can handle the stress of compiling and swapping at the same time. I might try to write a program to test the hardware, and run it in both OpenBSD and Mac OS X. -- George Koehler <kern...@gmail.com>
