Hmm.. I'm not quite up to that point yet (but have restarted the 
build often enough to be past the pic/grops/groff/whatever issue), 
but I see I'm using some 69MB of swap right now.. (the machine has 32MB).  
I've added an extra 500MB swap -- could your box be running out of
memory/swap when it gets to working on libm/catan.ln ?

If you make a PR, I'll update it with whatever I find when I get 
there... 

Later...
