Compiling VirtualBox with gcc version 4.3.1 the C++ compiler takes forever
running at 100% when compiling the file VBoxManage.c. It compiles fine with -O0
but takes forever with -O1. I will attach the pre-processed file. This is a
regression since some weeks, sorry, I cannot report the exact version of gcc
4.3 when it started to fail. Older gcc compilers work.
$ gcc -v
