I knew X was fat, but this is just >downright ridiculous. What's it doing with all that memory? I thought it was common knowledge that running X server and some X applications comusme a fair proportion of a 8MB machine, and forget compiling something significant (ie. an Xview program) with X running. GCC does run to several megabtyes, but GCC 2.3.3 is much worse. It is best sticking with Gcc 1.X and praying for an aggreed and stable cannonical (and probably extremely unofficial and never-let-me-ever-imply-that-Mr-Jolitz-ever-mutthered-a-word-of approval-of-it :-) implementation of shared libs.
