  I run with this setting all the time, I guess that's why I haven't seen this
problem.  Before I did that (couple of years back) I also used to get crashes
building libjava.

  (I'm sure there is an underlying inefficiency in ld's memory usage, and I
suspect it might relate to comdat handling, 4.6 generating way more of them
than earlier 4.x versions.)

    cheers,
