Today I compiled (tried to compile) X11R5 on my SCO system (SCO 3.2 Rel. 2.0).
The Makefile stopped with an error message coming from gcc (1.40):
Virtual memory exhausted. I grep'd through the sources and found the
only occurences of that message in toplevel.c (xmalloc, xrealloc), written
with upper case 'V'irtual. The module where compilation stopped was the following:

	gcc -DNO_ASM -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -fwritable-strings
-c -O  -I. -I./../../include -I./../../../../include/PEX -I../../../../.././X11
 -I../../../../.././server/include  -I../../../../../.  -DSCO -DBROKEN_FTOL
-DNO_PROTOTYPE -D_SVID -DSYSV -DSYSV386 -DXDMCP -DSHAPE -DMULTIBUFFER -DMITMISC
-DPEXEXT -DMITSHM  -DXTESTEXT1     pexPc.c
pexPc.c: In function PEXGetPipelineContext:
pexPc.c:1420: Virtual memory exhausted.
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I cannot believe that virtual memory is really exhausted. I more suspect
that the same strange thing happened which I observed already while
compiling the binutils. This error occured when xmalloc was called
with zero argument.

Anyone having a similar experience?

A Happy New Year to the World and us all
