NetBSD-1.5 : "Virtual Memory Exhausted"

["Thomas-Peter Klug" <thomas-peter.klug%db.com@localhost>]

Happy New Year to all Amiga fans !

I recently got an annoying problem with the virtual memory (I think), let me 
describe it to you, would you ?

My System : - A4000D hooked on Mikronik-Tower
            - CSPPC/68060/50MHz/PPC604/200MHz
            - OS3.9/PIV*Concierto*Paloma*Pablo
            - 128MB/P96v2.0
            - NetBSD-1.5 (m68k-release) on a SCSI2-drive
          -- SWAP 256 MB (NBS)
            -- ROOT 300 MB (NBR)
            -- USR  600 MB (NBU)
            -- AMG  300 MB (DOS, Amiga-partition, lastest FastFileSystem)

Everything went fine while installing NetBSD-1.5 and setting up my favoured 
flavors & colors on it.
After fiddling around with the pkg-package I've tried to compile my own 
windowmanagers, like AfterStep, Gnome or even Enlightenment. Thanks to 
pkgsrc.tar.gz that was no problem for AfterStep, but now I'm hanging wet-handed 
while compiling Gnome or Enlightenment.

The evil lies within... immlib. Both, Gnome and Enlightenment need this 
package. Latest source is imlib-1.9.8.1.tar.gz.
While compiling a sourcefile "testimg.c" the compiler exits with errormessage 
"virtual memory exhausted".
IMHO this can't really be true (the real cause iof the failure), because 
observing the system with 'top' while the compilers runs shows me that SWAP has 
still 256 MB free, and for normal and wired memory there was plenty free (more 
than 60 MB).
Be asured that all dependencies (all required distfiles are in 
/usr/pkgsrc/distfiles) were resolved.

Until now (even after compiling a kernel with only the required modules for my 
A4000 and the 68060 with FPU) I'm not able to compile successfully 
imlib-1.9.8.1.

Any suggestions ?
