Buidling Xalan c++ (linux)

[Christoph Kliemt <ck...@gmx.net>]

Hi!

 Problem (reproduceable): 
 GNU C++ version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) (i586-pc-linux-gnu)
 compiled by GNU C version 2.95.2 19991024 (release).
 XMLSupport/FormatterToHTML.cpp: In function `void
 initializeElementFlagsMap1(ElementFlagsMapType &)':
 XMLSupport/FormatterToHTML.cpp:1249: virtual memory exhausted
 make: *** [/usr/local/src/xalan/xml-xalan/c//obj/FormatterToHTML.o]
 Error 1

 I added 64MB swap and this error was gone. But : The resulting
 libxalan-1.4.0 is about 63MB...! :-/

 Someone to help me out?

 My ideas so far :
 - initializeElementFlagsMap1 uses STL a lot, so it may emmit
 instances of the same template over and over again?! Maybe the gcc
 options -frepro or  -fno-implicit-templates are a possible solution?
 (I do not like the latter option, since it requires to instanciate
 all the templates "by hand")
 Side-effects to expect?
 - disable debugging-symbols?

 btw : What does "-instances=static" stand for? I did not find
 anything in gcc info...?!
