I don't know how to read the oom dmesg, but as to the -fmem-report:

... what that's telling us is that there isn't a substantial leak in GCC, as
there's only 7 meg left unreclaimed by GC at the end. I think we'll have to
wait and see what the debugger tells us; either GCC really is using that much
memory in processing the file, or there's some kind of system or kernel bug
you're running into that is causing a leak in the VMM rather than the application.

0xFFFFFFFFFFF00000, lol, wut? It's possible that indicates some sort of
memory corruption going on. Maybe valgrind can help, do you have that?
