I got Virtual Memory problems when I tried to compile something that I later
found out was including a file that included the original file, thus generating
infinite code...

I don't see how that could be a problem with a simple hello.c but when I did
this it took about 30 seconds for the messages to show up.

I don't know how much this will help but adding a -v to GCC will cause it to
display each of the subprograms that the compiler is using and then you can see
exactly which program it runs out of memory on.
