Hi there.

I'd bet you're seeing some serious thrashing there. I've come across at
least one other user having problems with that particular part of
buildworld and -O2/-Os optimization levels. Seems like gcc4 is quite the
memory hog so I don't know whether something can be done, other than
either adding more RAM, trying to tweak swappiness, or taking a break
while this thing compiles itself.

Cheers.
