I have seen problems similar to what Martin describes when I build Axiom Gold (patch-49 and patch-50), build-improvements and wh-sandbox on the axiom-developer.org server. The same source codes build properly for me on SuSE 10.2. The axiom-developer.org server runs as a shared virtual host using a variant of the Red Hat linux kernel I am not exactly sure the of details, but the upshot is that the linux memory management in this configuration is a little different. As a result it does not support the configure option --maxpages=256*1024 I have to manually build gcl with a smaller memory size. With gcl-2.6.8pre it is possible to use values that are not powers of 2 and it seems that almost any size less than 256*1024 will work. Right now I am using --maxpages=196*1024 and the build completes normally. I am not sure whether this is related to Martin and Tim's problem or not but it is my initial guess.
