 Replying to [comment:27 jdemeyer]:
 > I essentially agree with your comments, *except* for not retrying when
 `Configure` fails.  It could very well be that some `gcc` bug causes
 `Configure` to fail and we should also catch that.

 How / when would changing the `-O` level solve `Configure` errors? I can't
 imagine such, at least not with `gcc`...

 > You're probably right that `ulimit -v` doesn't work everywhere (on OS X
 10.4, the command succeeds but doesn't actually limit anything), but I
 don't think that's an issue.  If it doesn't work, so be it...

 :-) Never mind, though we could also set some CPU time limit.

 Should we report the broken parallel `make install` upstream?

 I must admit I haven't looked close at it; it failed with 8 jobs in the
 first place.
