Don't know how long machine will stay up ...

Building FF8 seems to suck up memory and hang my machine real good
when it finally exhuasts swap space, now that mpi@'s diff got me
past the initial js part.

I added 2G of swap this morning and started again. It gets to

...
gmake[3]: Entering directory '[snip]/mozilla-release/toolkit/library'
rm -f libxul.so.27.0
/usr/local/bin/python2.7 [gigantic list of includes and libraries]
...

At which point swap goes shooting past my previous 1G, and pauses at
1.2G when the next message is printed:

ld: Warning: gc-sections ignored

by which time ld is taking 60% of the processor! After this ld processor
use goes down and swap starts creeping up again.

ld is still spiking to >30% of processor, no new messages have
appeared and machine (which I am typing this on) appears responsive.
Swap is up to 1453M, and my extra swap light (i.e. the usb stick's
light) is blinking.

This machine is a macppc macmini with 512MB of real memory.

.... Ken
