The above build (i386, PAE-enabled kernel) eventually stalled and the
machine became unresponive due to memory exhaustion, building w/WRKOBJDIR
on tmpfs.  The only out was to drop to DDB and force-reboot the machine
and rebuild parity on the RAID and check all the filesystems.

Restarting with webkit-gtk41's WRKOBJDIR on physical disk, it eventually
stops saying virtual memory exhausted, even with MAKE_JOBS=1 and 26GB
of swap (16GB in swap partition wd0b and 2GB+8GB in swap files).
