[Scilab-users] Issue when compiling Scilab: "Cannot allocate this quantity of memory"

On my system (Fedora 21 x86_64) the MAXLONG macro is defined at :

stackinfo.c:35 #define MAXLONG LONG_MAX

and LONG_MAX comes from limits.h

Well, as we do not have any PPC64 at Scilab I cannot check. Is a VM
available for that platform / distro ?
