GCC compilation fails while compiling gimple-match.cc

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi Stan!

Does anyone know whether the developers for the Debian m68k port have
run into an issue while compiling gcc (beginning around gcc-12), as
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109927
If you are not seeing any issues, then you might be using a set of
options or patches that could be useful for the Gentoo developers.

We don't have any specific patches but we're building our packages using
qemu-user and not qemu-system which is why we aren't running into memory
constraints that quickly.

For what is worth, you should use the "virt" flavor when running qemu-m68k
instead of the Quadra 800 flavor as this way you have more memory available.

Thanks, it's good to know it's not happening with qemu-user.

I am using the virt m68k VM.

OK. The only other project that comes to my mind where you run into memory
exhaustion issue with qemu-system is the GHC Haskell compiler. Building it
on qemu-user works fine there, too.

Were those Debian qemu-user builds ever attempted on a 32-bit host?
