Maybe a year ago I started having problems building virtualbox on my |
12 |
older/smaller machine. There is one place which ran through my puny |
13 |
1GB of ram and then went on to fill up another 2GB of swap before |
14 |
oomkill stepped in. |

That turned out to be a gcc bug, and a proper fix was added to gcc |
17 |
4.7.0 but not back-ported to 4.5.3, which I'm still using. |

Since then I scavenged half of that 1GB of RAM for my wife's machine, |

so it should be fun to try to build virtualbox with the other half :) |
