That looks strange indeed.  If you want to know more specifically where
bmake fails to allocate memory, you can add a few debugging options to
the bmake calls.

This works by changing make_quiet_flags="" in bootstrap/bootstrap,
around line 900. That variable was originally meant to be "-s" in quiet
mode, but it can be used for debug logging as well. Just set:

    make_quiet_flags="-dA"	# complete debug logging
    make_quiet_flags="-dcp"	# conditionals and parsing
    make_quiet_flags="-dv"	# variables and ${expressions}

Then bootstrap again.
