Have you even read the installation documentation (http://gcc.gnu.org/install/)? You're using really unusual configuration options. If you want a C-only compiler then you should just configure with "--enable-languages=c" only, no other configuration options needed. You don't even have to do "make bootstrap" because it's the default, i.e. the compiler always bootstraps itself unless you configure with --disable-bootstrap. What I asked for, was --enable-gather-statistics output for your compilation of insn-emit.c, but you don't want to gather statistics with a bootstrapped compiler (like --enable-checking=all, --enable-gather-statistics is a debug option). > Couldn't there be a new "enable all checks except garbage collection checks" > option ? No. You can pick individual checks (RTFM) but there is no option to enable all checking except GC. One page every two minutes is still unbelievable slow. GCC 4.7.1. on x86_64 has been built by thousands without any problem. I tried your pre-processed source and peak memory was 250MB.
