- Yes, the GNU regex package needs atleast 20k of stack.

- This is strange. I never had problems executing this line with my
- version of bash, but then it have both hostname and uname lying around
- (hostname is just uname -n). But even when hostname is missing it
- still doesn't hang. Btw, on my machine (2/16 TT), configure only
- takes about 20 minutes, IIRC.

-
- This is because 's' tells ar to construct a symbol table (__.SYMDEF),
- which ld needs to quickly find the symbols defined in the archive.
- It's probably a bug that ld doesn't work with archives that lack a
- symbol table.

-
- I think EAGAIN can be defined to be ENOMEM, which is the best
