Hello,
I normally bootstrap the latest emacs (updating sources from git daily),
but for the last ~9 days it's been failing on x86_64 Fedora 13:
...
No MH variant found on the system
Wrote /home/j/w/co/emacs/lisp/mh-e/mh-xface.elc
Compiling /home/j/w/co/emacs/lisp/language/hanja-util.el
In toplevel form:
../../../../home/j/w/co/emacs/lisp/language/hanja-util.el:6437:6:Error: Memory exhausted--use C-x s then exit and restart Emacs
make[2]: *** [language/hanja-util.elc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/t/jt-FqYKau/emacs/lisp'
make[1]: *** [compile-main] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/t/jt-FqYKau/emacs/lisp'
make: *** [lisp] Error 2
I can't be the only one configuring to an empty (new prefix)
and running "make bootstrap", so I suppose it's something
in my set-up. Maybe no one else is doing that with F13...
Both srcdir and non-srcdir builds fail,
with and without this PATH-limiting export:
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/bin/X11
./configure --prefix=$prefix && make bootstrap
Any suggestions?

I don't currently have a Fedora system easily accessible, but I can verify that I don't see this problem on macosx (10.6.3), where I bootstrap (from bzr) with relative frequency.
As a workaround, assuming that you don't need hanja character support, you could probably manually gut the gigantic lambda in hanja-init-load down to one or two entries.
Hope that helps,
*Chad

I have just bootstrapped the current trunk on
Linux fencepost 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 13 00:12:41 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
without any trouble at all.

Can you verify that Emacs indeed uses gobs of memory when it
bootstraps?
Does F13 have some features that could limit memory of Emacs?

Thanks to you and Chad for the confirmation
that this is something specific to my setup.
I should be able to investigate tomorrow.

I've resolved the mystery.
Quick solutions:
- use MALLOC_CHECK_=0 or don't set the envvar at all
(i.e., don't set MALLOC_CHECK_=1 or greater), or
- build with rawhide (with glibc-2.12.90-1), not F13
My using MALLOC_CHECK_=3 appears to have triggered a bug in
glibc's malloc that was fixed upstream barely a month ago, by commit
ad3d3e8f20c95aae9d26970c169bca6f48072681. It looks like the fix reached
rawhide only very recently: when I built on rawhide minutes ago, I
was able to reproduce the problem, but updating its package set pulled
in glibc-2.12.90-1 (displacing glibc-2.12-1), and then rebuilding
emacs succeeded.
