I tried to compile KDE 4.3.4 with gcc-r155523. The compilation stalled at file
globalsettings_base.cpp, which took more than 40 minutes to compile (actually,
it could have taken more, because I've simply aborted it).
In the attachement you will find the preprocessed version of this file. Sorry
to have included such a huge file, but it seems impossible to comment out some
parts of it because doing so greatly reduces the compilation time.
To reproduce, do
$ gcc -x c++ -c -O1 -g -o bug.o bug.i
It seems this problem has something to do with debug info generation for
optimized binaries, because omitting -O1 or -g makes the problem disappear.
