Unfortunately, it's not just GCC that grows to several GB: the initial Python process doing the static analysis grows to the same sort of size too. The memory it uses can, I'm told, be squeezed down by using pypy (instead of CPython) to do that part of things, but the bootstrapping process then becomes nasty (download a precompiled PyPy etc.).
