  Though I haven't looked at it myself yet, an associate of mine recently
compiled gcc, once with another compiler, another time with gcc (the
self-compiling bootstrap). He sez gcc doesn't use temporary files. It uses
gobs of virtual memory.

  Keep this in mind - a 386 Minix supporting this compiler will have to
provide useful virtual memory.
