osprey buildfarm member has been failing for a long while

I'm not sure that GIN is really to blame though, as the error looks
like an out-of-memory problem while trying to link the backend:

gmake[2]: *** [postgres] Error 1

Perhaps the swap space or ulimit setting on the box needs to be raised?

Or maybe ccache is the culprit - there have been suspicions before that
ccache is responsible for errors, but it's never been confirmed. Remi,
can you try turning it off and see what happens? just comment out the CC
=> "cache gcc" line in the config file.

cheers

I don't think it's a swap problem. I've not seen the machine go much
in the swap while running the build, but I've not checked since the
failure appeared.
I was sort of hoping the issue will resovle itself when the size of
the link would change again...

What kind of ulimit did you think of ?
I'll try upping the data segment size.

Or maybe ccache is the culprit - there have been suspicions before
that ccache is responsible for errors, but it's never been
confirmed. Remi, can you try turning it off and see what happens?

I'll try that.

Yeah, data segment size would be the most likely culprit if this is a
ulimit thing.

Changing this limit and removing ccache made the trick.
Next run will try and re-enable ccache (this build lasted nearly 11.5
hours :-)
