This may sound crazy, but log in as root and set ulimit top some really
big value, e.g.

	ulimit 999999999

At times, I have had compiles fail in gcc and X11R4/5 because the
unstripped and debug-padded object code added up more memory than
my process was allowed to have.  Upping the ulimit parameter fixed
the problem quickly.

Just a hunch, but who knows?  Give it a try.
