Checked out make from CVS but the build is horribly broken
I am assuming that you have applied my make patch. Even with my make patch applied, make still uses lots of memory. Please make sure your memory limit is big enough. I have bash-3.00$ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16372 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 16372 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited H.J.
