[Gm2] Trying to build 4.7.3 on the Raspberry Pi

[JD]

Gaius,
Thanks for your advice.  I'm getting a completely different result now: 
it's been running for 7 days so far, so according to your experience 
just 2 more days!

It's reached the command:

libtool: compile:  /home/pi/GM2/scratch-area/build-4.7.3/./gcc/xgcc 
-shared-libgcc -B/home/pi/GM2/scratch-area/build-4.7.3/./gcc -nostdinc++

Does this look "so far, so good" to you?

I guess my main problem was rerunning only the make.  The current run 
started at the top.  The problem I was left with was a lack of memory 
for cc1.  After minimising graphics memory I increased swap to 05.Gb and 
now it has run without stopping.

Keep you posted.

Regards,
John
