After about 11 hours, the build failed, I *think* it was my machine as
I got the error about Virtual memory exhausted..
(I attempted on a Powerbook G4 w/512MB of RAM)
I have some XServe G5's around here somewhere, I might load one of
those up to see if I can get it to build on that.
Yes, you exhausted your RAM. The build needs around 2GB to complete well
(later, during the linking of libxul)
On my iBook with 1.25GB of RAM I need a lot of swap and linking
completes after 20-30 minutes but completes.
I have an x86 I would like to test a bit (because it doesn't have SSE3)
but with only 1GB of RAM it fails essentially or swaps for hours,
depending on compiler optimization.
Also, big note: if you are limited in RAM don't issue a Make parallel
build, it is useless and consumes more RAM.
Thanks for trying, I hope your XServe will do better!
