794701 - Linux: Failure to build libxul.so: final link failed: Memory exhausted

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric Promislow]

Attachment: Result of running make in toolkit/library

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1
Build ID: 20120713224758

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to build mozilla


Actual results:

Out-of-memory error while trying to build libxul.so

I have 8GB on this machine (Ubuntu 12.04 320bit) 
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ × 2

I'm running a 32-bit OS, so the process only has access to 4GB


Expected results:

As I wrote in bug 775514 I would look at the increased use of templates in some of the js source:  libjs_static.a => 185,072,190, next largest library is nsprpub/pr/src/libnspr4.a at 3,516,534
