Great, happy hacking.

> "Explicitly to require vast amounts of memory"?  Like an end in itself?

Yes.  The idea was that if you take this as a design goal, the
program's code will be very different from a typical Unix program
(recall that Unix was originally a 16-bit OS), so there will be no
danger someone will try to sue GNU for stealing commercial code of
other systems.

I don't know.  Maybe you've run Windows 98 in a different VM?  Or
maybe you used an older version of GCC/Binutils?
