you mean "how is this even possible"?
well, for example,
make -jX
make clean
can introduce a significant fragmentation. no new objects, just random
objs removal. assuming that we keep some of the objects, allocated during
compilation.
e.g.
...
page1
allocate baz.so
allocate foo.o
page2
allocate bar.o
allocate foo.so
...
pageN
now `make clean`
page1:
allocated baz.so
empty
page2
empty
allocated foo.so
...
pageN
in the worst case, every page can turn out to be ALMOST_EMPTY.
