I cannot speak for Heiko, but my examples are far from short. Indeed
they include a statement that is several megabytes long.
gcc exhaust all the memory available and fail with
Internal compiler error:
virtual memory exhausted
An gcc version that use less memory will be able to complete the
compilation.
