Paludis compilation freezes with Internal error

[njw]

When trying to install the new 0.26.0_alpha4 (and with _alpha3) paludis, using version 0.24.6, the compiler always freezes, bringing the rest of my computer to a near standstill for an hour or two, until the message:

"i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++: Internal error: Killed (program cc1plus)

This is directly below the line:

i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DSYSCONFDIR=\"/etc\" -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share\" -DLIBEXECDIR=\"/usr/libexec\" -DLIBDIR=\"/u

This is using the ebuild in the main gentoo repository.

Let me know if you need any more information / testing.

You need some combination of:

• More RAM
• Lower MAKEOPTS
• Disable the python USE flag
