[Freemint-discuss] gcc 13.3 bootstrapping experience

[Miro K. <mir...@gm...>]

Hi,

just wanted to share something with you: even having 1900 MB of TT RAM in
Aranym didn't allow me to natively bootstrap gcc 13.3.0. FreeMiNT / mintlib
started to complain at the 2047 mark (mallocs failing very early on) and
IIRC 2 GiB is the limit of our TOS API anyway.

The 1900 MB setup so-so passed the first (stage1) linking of 'cc1' but
finally failed on 'cc1plus' with being out of memory. So actually it seems
it was the linker's fault, not gcc's (for stage1 compilation I used my
native gcc 13.3.0 builds built by the cross compiler).

So I guess that's it. There's no way to build gcc/g++ on Atari anymore.
