If i remember rightly one of the early Algol compilers for the IBM
mainframe couldnt be compiled on an IBM mainframe because it was too memory
hungry (it had to be cross compiled). The numbers change, but the problems
don?t, except that i haven?t run a compile lately that ran out of memory
like that.
