The main additional resource requirement is building libstdc++ in stage 1 (and stages 2 and 3 if you were previously not building the C++ compiler at all). The C++ compiler proper is fairly small by comparison. At present you can use --disable-build-poststage1-with-cxx. However, in the future, I would like to change gcc to always build with C++. Yes, this will take more resources. Ian
