Re: Binutils on Atari MiNT


Hi Mark,

Apologies if this is the wrong list for this sort of thing.

No this is the correct list. I apologise for not replying earlier - I have been away on vacation.


The problem we have is that while compiling a certain part of gcc,
binutils consumes around 10MB of ram before it dies out with "Memory
exhausted".  I have 256MB of physical RAM and over 200MB free.

When you say "binutils" here do you mean the linker, or the assembler or some other tool in the binutils suite ?


I don't
expect anyone to know the solution, but a pointer as to where to start
looking would be great.

On the assumption that it is a linker problem I would suggest that you investigate using the --reduce-memory-overheads switch. If that does not work then the most likely cause is an infinite loop somewhere, most likely in the code you have patching. I would recommend using a tool like GDB to find out where such a loop might be occurring.


Cheers
  Nick
