In my experience, this is actually (mac)ppc-specific. My cure (for 3.1
as well as for current) is to either ulimit -d <enough> before
building or to increase DFLDSIZ from the default 128*1024*1024 in a
custom kernel.

Why not increase the default in
src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/oea|ibm4xx/vmparam.h to 256MB as is
already the case for i386?
