 I tried again on a different host (2.5GHz Athlon 4850e with 2GB RAM
 and 9GB swap) and "-O2 -g -march=3Dnocona" ran out of swap after 7.6 hrs
 CPU.  "-O2", "-O2 -g" and "-O2 -march=3Dnocona" each ran in 25-30 secs.
 Interestingly, the working set remained fairly small (<1GB) so the
 system wasn't thrashing (though ZFS was very unhappy).

 It's probably a "well, don't do that then" case but if someone feels
 like chasing it down, I won't object.
