I'll try. I already have 192M of swap. But on kernel 2.4.7 my system could lock 
up
in case of heavy memory usage by g++ or ld. Now I am using 2.4.13, with new VM
things might be better...

But: in case of memory shortage g++ uses tmp files and in many cases can compile
even very big source. It's not good that I can't say this about ld. 500 megs of
free disk space could not help ld. :(

Thanks for this answer! Short and clear!
