Indeed. With less than 800MB, gcc fails to upgrade. Always. For some
RAM-constrained systems (e.g. the VMs in my company's cloud), I even have
to do an "out-of-the-box" upgrade, i.e., upgrade an identical copy on the
physical data center, grab the binpkg tarball, and upload the tarball to
the cloud.
