FWIW, here is the exchange so far with a gcc developer about this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19614
The good news is that with gcc's CVS head the amount of memory used during
this compile has gone down from 1.5G to 750M. While that's still a lot of
memory, it's not that much more than x86 and as at least "in the ballpark"
of how much memory most developers might have. (IMO, of course.)
Take care,
Dale
