The problem appears to be the use of alloca(). I used the emacs alloca.c
version. This causes considerable thrashing when compiling large programs
with -O. For example: c-parse.tab.c compiled in 7 hours rather that the
normal 1 minute.

Solution: forget the -O flag on the stage1/stage2 compilations.
I then do the compilation again with -O but starting with the just
generated gcc (I want to make sure that gcc compiles itself correctly with
-O, and I want to have an optimized compiler). Thanks all who responded.
