	The GCC "Host/Target specific installation note for GCC" is a good
resource for this type of question:

"out of memory bootstrap failures may indicate a problem with process
resource limits (ulimit). Hard limits are configured in the
/etc/security/limits system configuration file."

Make sure that the data and stack limits are set large enough for the
processes that will build GCC.
