Re: Building MySQL under low-memory (VPS) conditions?

OK, after scanning the manual carefully, I've found that rather than changing the CFLAGS variable in the Makefile, it suggests setting CFLAGS as an environment variable in the shell. So:

CFLAGS="-param ggc-min-expand=0 --param ggc-min-heapsize=512"; export CFLAGS

seems to modify the behavior of gcc appropriately.

That solves my problem from a practical standpoint -- the compilation is going to take forever, but it looks like it will go.

However, I still don't know why changing the environment variables works while changing the Makefile vars doesn't. If anyone does, I'd be really interested in an explanation.
