 down the road as pari is bound to get bigger, gcc is going to use more
 ram, and people try this on a wider (slower) range of hardware.

 Well, the chosen limits are very conservative, so I doubt we will run into
 this problem any time soon.

 >   * We apparently know that optimization of Pari is not working
 correctly on gcc 4.4.1 yet we still build it with optimization and hope
 for the best? What could possibly go wrong?
 There isn't just one single broken version, we want to catch ''all''
 broken gcc's.  See #9897 for example.
