Replying to [comment:16 Koen]:
> For reference: OpenSuse 11.2 (gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.4.1 [gcc-4_4-branch
revision 150839]) has the same problem when building PARI: on a machine
with 64GB of RAM, it eventually fails after all memory is exhausted (takes
hours).
Hmmm, install more RAM?
What CPU type is that? I know others have built successfully on openSUSE
11.2.

This used to be different in the good old times (and some even offered
source packages IIRC). Also, Fedora / RedHat IMHO tend to include / build
with "too fresh" compilers.
Perhaps we should really check the `gcc` version in PARI's `spkg-install`,
and eventually switch to `-O1`, but IMHO this should be fixed upstream
such that only the critical parts get built with that.
Can you report this upstream?
