Yay, I caught one.

While doing a "make build" on a poor little AlphaServer 200 box
with only 16MB of RAM (memory is in the mail...) I get:

rm -f llib-lbz2.ln  blocksort.ln huffman.ln crctable.ln randtable.ln compress.ln decompress.ln bzlib.ln
rm -f .depend /usr/src/lib/libbz2/tags
cleandir ===> lib/libc
panic: pmap_physpage_alloc: no pages available after 5 tries
Stopped in make at      Debugger+0x4:   ret     zero,(ra)
