Might this be related to make-bug #1379 ("Don't use alloca() for automatic
variable values like $^, etc. In the case of very large lists of
prerequisites this causes problems."), which has been solved
after make-3.80 was released?
At least on freebsd, I can build and install libjava by using
a recent cvs-version of make ( /usr/opt/scito/make/bin/gmake --version:
GNU Make 3.81beta4; This program built for i386-portbld-freebsd5.4 ),
with indeed still a maximum memory usage of about 350MB;
however, make-3.80 segfaults with a 'memory exhausted' error, even if I add
2Gig extra swap space.
