[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#801367: please reduce the size of the swig generated translation units

[Matthias Klose]

Package: src:insighttoolkit4
Version: 4.8.1-1
Tags: upstream

please reduce the size of the swig generated translation units. insighttoolkit 
is the one package in the archive which cannot be built in environments with 
"limited" memory available.

On at least amd64, the build shows several gcc invocations where memory usage 
goes beyond 2gb, peaking with the filters at 3.2gb.  While there seems to be a 
regression in memory usage with GCC 5 [1], it's still a burden to build.  Is 
there any way to split these swig generated files?

Also the package seems to build fine on at least other 64bit architectures (with 
a few test failures).
