 >Is this crash reproducible?\\
 Yes the crash is reproducible on my computer every time I  run "make" or
 "make install"\\\\

 >How much memory does your guest have available to it?\\
 my computer has 4 Go of RAM\\
 Windows is 32 bit and use 3 Go of RAM. Linux is 64 bit on virtualBox as
 guest.\\
 Linux use 1024 Mo of RAM.\\
 in Linux, I looked at the task manager.\\
 the memory in use does not exceed 83% when the compilation is active\\

 When the {{{DynFlags}}} file is compiled I noticed this behavior (of
 memory) in the task manager of Linux:\\
 throughout the process, which takes about 20 minutes, the memory that is
 used varies between 88% and 93% of the total memory.\\
 suddenly the percentage of memory stops at 93% and does not vary
 thereafter for about 2 minutes.\\
 then after this time elapsed the file stops to compile and an error
 appears.\\

 {{{

 make[1]: *** [compiler/stage2/build/DynFlags.o] Erreur de segmentation

 make: *** [all] Error 2

 the memory down to 7% after stopping compilation.\\
 \\
 In Windows, throughout the process in the guest I can read in the task
 manager that the memory in use is 2.08 GB of RAM all the time.
