[pypy-dev] Very long compilation on pypy

[Arthur Peters]

I successfully compiled pypy a couple days ago. Then I took the source
file and tried to compile it with optimizations. That didn't go as
well. It's been compiling for the last 2 days (process time is
2098minutes at the moment) and has not finished. The command line was:

gcc -O2 -c testing_1.c -o testing_1.o -I/usr/include/python2.4 \
             -I ~/source/pypy-dist/pypy/translator/c/ -I /usr/include/gc/

I just aborted it because it was making the system slow.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does -O2 trigger a bug in GCC with the
large source file? or does it really take 3-4 days to compile it?

Just thought I'd bring it up. I'm using the braohm GC.
