4.2.0 build on alpha-OSF1-V4 problem


Has anyone been able to build gcc-4.2.0 on an alpha-OSF1-V4?

I am doing

   configure --enable-languages=c --with-gmp=[path-to-gmp]
--with-mpfr=[path-to-mpfr]
   make bootstrap

but I get
   virtual memory exhausted: Not enough space
This is on a machine with 256MB of memory.

I have tried the suggestions in host/target specific installation notes
for alpha*-dec-osf* where this issue is discussed:

1. --with-gc=simple : does not seem to exist in gcc-4.2.0

2. reconfiguring Kernel Virtual Memory and Swap parameters per the
/usr/sbin/sys_check Tuning Suggestions  :  do not understand this
suggestion

3  applying the patch in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg00822.html -
this suggest changing in gcc/ggc-page.c GGC_QUIRE_SIZE to 1.  :
when I do this I get a different error.

Am I the last person to have this architecture?  I know the machine
is very old ... but we still have one.

Any help gratefully received.
