Host machine:
PowerMac 7300, 256MB RAM
NetBSD powermac 1.6T NetBSD 1.6T (prez) #1: Tue Jun  3 19:08:03 UTC 
2003  root@p
owermac:/usr/obj/sys/arch/macppc/compile/prez macppc

Host is netbooted, ofwboot.xcf and netbsd kernel gotten from DEC 
Alpha, root local on sd0a, swap local on sd0b.

DEC Alpha also nfs hosts /usr/src, /usr/destdir-alpha, 
/usr/release-alpha & /usr/obj-alpha

Alpha is running 1.6Z

Used script to log output:

===> build.sh command: ./build.sh -m alpha -D /usr/destdir-alpha -R 
/usr/release
-alpha -O /usr/obj-alpha -j 5 release

I was running xosview, displayed remotely, & RAM usage was only about 65MB.

I'm starting again without the -j option to see if that lets the 
build go through. I'll let the list know if that makes a difference. 
I'll keep the build log around for a few weeks in case it's 
needed/helpful for anything (the BUILDING doc mentions sending the 
whole log for "-j"-related issues, even though this isn't technically 
a build failure).

I'll be doing a release of macppc & upgrading the host after the next 
attempt of an alpha cross-build (& if the next try fails, I'll try 
yet again after the host is updated).
