64MB of RAM just to run an autoconf+some make. This is new to me.
I didn't expect to see a message like this in 1997, only in 1999 2000.
A program REQUIRING 64MB of RAM!!!!
I thought that the first program that woould had those requirements would be
a monstruous database/expert system/GUI program.
NO. It was GNU Make!!!
Congratulations to cygnus for establishing this record! I wonder when
a Hello world program will need 1Gigabyte of RAM to start and some
terabytes of disk to be stored...
