I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this problem, short of adding more RAM.

solamour,
That's a challenge.
I guess, its 256M fitted and 32 M is used for graphics?
If you are already using MAKEOPTS="-j1" for gcc, there is not a lot you can do.
a) don't run anything you don't need to.
b) squeeze the graphics so it does not need as much RAM. Reduce the colour depth and the resolution.
Switch to the 80x25 VGA text console, that's as miserly as a console gets with RAM.
c) build gcc elsewhere and install the binary.
d) upgrade the RAM if that's possible.

If you use already MAKEOPTS="-j1" and you removed -pipe from CFLAGS (like in your llvm problem)... remains the the cross compilation

I'm using "-j1" with no "-pipe", and the RAM is not upgradable. I also turned off many non-critical services, although I need to check what else I can turn off.
What concerns me is that it wasn't a problem until, say, a few months ago. Sure, it took a week or so to build a large package such as GCC, but it still worked. But now, it just gives up, and adding more swap doesn't help either.
Also, I'm not sure why dhcpcd is doing the killing and whether that's even normal.

|
But first, let me see if I can reduce the memory reserved for the video.

This line looks strange. I've never seen it before. Did you turn off memory compaction in the kernel config? |

There was a bug in older GCC versions (including 6.x) where genautomata used a lot of memory.
The 7.x series requires a lot less memory to compile. |

Most likely not, but if I did, it couldn't have been intentional.
| Code: | # grep COMPACT .config
CONFIG_COMPACTION=y
|
And that's another thing as well; I updated the kernel, but instead of migrating the old kernel config, I started fresh with "make defconfig" and set only the things I needed. Right now, I'm giving gcc one more try, so if it fails again, I'll turn the system off, adjust video memory, and see if the new kernel makes any difference.

solamour,
I'm fairly sure that compaction allows the kernel to move dynamically allocated RAM around, so that it can satisfy a request for a big chunk of RAM from lots of little ones.
malloc and free eventually leave RAM fragmented.

After several days of compiling, "gcc-6.4.0-r1" is finally done. I'm not exactly sure what solved the problem though, because I made the following changes all at once. Perhaps it's a combination of everything.
1) Reduced the video memory to increase the main memory by whopping 12MB. Reducing the video memory to 0MB wasn't a good idea, because I ended up with a blank screen and had to reset the BIOS.
2) Started with "make defconfig" to reset the kernel configuration and added only the things I need (and removed a bunch that I know for sure I don't need).
3) Turned off the services that weren't mission critical.
Thank you everyone for taking time to share your opinions and suggestions.
