Hello Ruben and Everyone! The short answer is that I have managed to complete the build by re-running make after freeing up some memory.

Based on Ruben's success in building Qt on a similarly sized system, I decided that maybe I was on the edge of having enough memory for the build. Again, after the failed build had exited, task manager reported about 2 GB of available memory (out of 4 GB). So I rebooted my machine, went through task manager and killed off various processes that looked unnecessary. After doing this, task manager reported about 3 GB of available memory. When I re-ran make, it picked up where it had left off -- linking QtGui4d.dll. That took about 45 minutes, but succeeded. (QtGui4d.dll is about 456 MB in size.) (One note: I wasn't watching memory usage while QtGui4d.dll was being linked, but when the non-debug version, QtGui4.dll, was being linked, memory usage (for all processes in the system, not just ld) started at about 1 GB and grew more or less linearly to about 2.5 to 3 GB. QtGui4.dll is about 13 MB in size.) So... I guess the moral of the story is that 2 GB of available memory isn't quite enough for the build process, but 3 GB is. (Just to be clear, I didn't change the configuration or set any build flags to reduce memory usage -- I just re-ran the build after re-booting and freeing up some memory on my system.) I did check that the 4.8.0-rc1 Qt build is basically working by building a very simple test application, but I haven't used it for anything significant yet. > ... > Ruben Thanks for everyone's advice.
