What version of gcc is that?  (Type "gcc -v".)

Version 4.2 has an efficiency problem (some call it bug)
that it consumes large amounts of memory for certain kinds
of source files.  In particular, it requires about 1 GB
of memory (RAM + swap) for one file in the Xorg tree when
the optimization level is >= 1.  That problem (and several
others) is fixed in gcc 4.2.1.

Bottom line:  Try updating your gcc, and/or try compiling
that particular file with a lower optimization level
(-O0 if everything else fails).
