Package: binutils
Version: 2.20-4
Severity: important
When I compile the following program with gcc (no particular options),
top shows that ld takes almost 2 GB.
static int t[500000000];
int main (void)
{
t[0] = 0;
return 0;
}
With more important arrays, the machine starts swapping a lot, the
load average increases a lot, and it takes several minutes to be
able to stop the command.
