When compiling gcc-4.1.1, there is at least a serious slowdown, and on many
machines a failure, when insn-attrtab is compiled. There are several threads on
the Gentoo forums about this, some involving machines with 512M of memory. This
file seems to be automatically generated, and has become so large that one user
graphically describes it as a "swapfest". Compiling on a machine with the
specified Gentoo minimum of 64M is not practical.
Is it possible to split this file?
