compiler woes on powerpc

So I tried to kick off a build.sh tools on one of my prep
machines today, and
it exploded.  This machine has 64MB of ram, and 256MB of
swap.  It's running
full -current as of about 1 week ago.

Is that not enough ram to build gcc anymore?  It seems a bit
excessive.

Nope.  Not enough. :(

need a datasize of 256MB for gcc these days.

Yeah.. ulimit datasize to 256000 did the trick.  Thanks
everyone.
