New Comment:
Ran into the same problem with GCC 3.4.5 on a "2.6.9-34.EL #1 Fri Feb 24
16:44:51 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" machine
with 256MB of memory.

What version of gcc were you using?
It would be nice to track this where possible.

It is probably up in the 600-700M range. If you are using an older
toolchain in a severely memory-starved environment, you shouldn't expect
to be able to compile everything there. Why not simply cross-compile
from a real dev box somewhere and copy the binaries over? You can
install your production OS in a vm slice on whatever home machine you
have and compile there.

"Quite a bit" of memory? That seems like a bit of an understatement when
it will quite happily consume over 350MB of memory on a single file and
previous versions of PHP could be compiled in ~150MB or less (albeit
without that extension) :D
Maybe libmagic needs disabling as a default module if it was in PECL
before and is known to causes problems with older compilers?
How much memory am I expected to need to compile it if it fails with
350MB? I've just watched 'top' while the compile continued and it maxed
out at ~120MB without libmagic, which is far more reasonable.

We know that file takes quite a bit of memory to compile on older
versions of gcc. It should be better in newer versions though. Not
much we can do about this. We aren't going to change perfectly valid
code just because some older compilers have trouble with it.
