What way did you manage to find to install gcc/g++ that's actually painful? On the N900 (if you have the sdk repo added), and on most linuxes, "apt-get install gcc" and "apt-get install g++" works just fine? (Just swap in command for your system's package manager, if it's not apt). Cross-compiling, now THAT does get harder to set up.

You'll also need to (temporarily) increase your /tmp dir size or redirect TMPDIR for gcc - otherwise you'll run out of space.
Oh cool, I didn't know you could do that.

I have a build running at the moment, it's been running for a couple of hours - fingers crossed it succeeds.

Cross-compiling is probably the way I'd go if I were to start again from scratch.
You are a very patient individual, apparently. I applaud you.
