BUILD FAILS (SOLARIS 2.6 / GCC 3.2): late stage validation

["Cooperman, Marc (Exchange)" <mcooperman at bear dot com>]

While doing final stages of bootstrap validation, I get

src/sparc/.libs/v9.o: could not read symbols: Memory exhausted
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [libffi.la] Error 1

I have tried configure with --disable-nls after encountering earlier
problems in the [intl] subdir and reading comments posted regarding
'problems' with NLS support building for Solaris.

As far as I can tell, the build is not being done in /tmp - but under a
separate object directory in my user directory (and the object directory is
not under the gcc src directory)

I have seen messages discussing "Virtual memory exhausted." discussed in
this regard - but the message I get mentions nothing about "virtual".

Also, I tried doubling the shell resource stacksize to 16K from 8K, and
checked that vmemoryuse is unlimited
datasize is set to 2087148 bytes
filesize is unlimited
descriptors is 64

I have plenty of disk space

The build is configured to use gnu as and ld.

Any ideas?
