Perhaps it was forced to swap or ran out of virtual memory. Sometimes
you will find some strange situation in some piece of code where gcc
seems to decide it needs a massive amount of memory and a very long time
to compile something optimized. For example, there was a time when
compiling the pci code in X.org for powerpc would require more than 1
gig of ram, but only to compile one very specific file, and only as long
as optimization was used. Maybe we are seeing something similar here?
