Problems compiling xffm under NetBSD/sparc

[Chris Fuhrman]

Howdy,

Looks like NetBSD recently committed xfce4 to their pkgsrc collection.  
WooHoo!  That's the good news.

Bad news is that I'm trying to compile xfce4 from packages on a 
SparcStation5 running NetBSD 1.6.1.  Things seem to go okay except when it 
tries to compile xffm:

As you can see, it's running out of resources.

I've tried shutting down some other processes on the machine to free up 
some valuable virtual memory but I'm not certain that's working.  The 
machine has 64MG of RAM w/ 128M swap.  When I do a top, I notice that the 
compile process is requesting a LOT of memory (upwards of 50M) so it's no 
wonder the poor box is struggling.

I'm reasonably certain that the machine simply needs more memory in it 
although I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem.

Thanks!
