My /etc/make.conf just has CFLAGS += -march=i586 I assume -O2 is coming out of /usr/src/ gcc itself. ---------- From: Nikos Ntarmos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:33:31 +0200 > I'd bet you're seeing some serious thrashing there.

Yes, on return from travels, I powered up, left it running for day[s?] looked again & finally it had finished. Now trying from BETA4 to 7-Stable. Seems your right about gcc4 & memory hog. (-pipe by default makes it even worse, subject of another thread). Thanks all. -- Julian Stacey.
