Has anyone built libg++-2.5 under djgcc (or any other version of gcc for
the 386?)  Several folks are attempting to build it under various 386 
Unices using mostly gcc-2.5.2 and failing.  The compiler gets into a loop 
compiling String.cc, exhausts memory, and fails; putting out this message:

   gcc -c -g -I. -I../../libio -I. -I./../../libio -I./../src   String.cc
   ./String.h: In method `void String::operator +=(const class String &)':
   In file included from String.cc:25:
   ./String.h:717: virtual memory exhausted

(The best theory so far is that this is a compiler bug, which causes
wrong code go be compiled in cc1plus.)

Many Thanks:
