So I tried to kick off a build.sh tools on one of my prep machines today, and
it exploded.  This machine has 64MB of ram, and 256MB of swap.  It's running
full -current as of about 1 week ago.

cc   -O -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE  -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes
-Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros
-Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute    -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DGENERATOR_FILE  -o build/genattrtab \

/usr/src/tools/gcc/../../gnu/dist/gcc4/gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.md >
tmp-attrtab.c

out of memory allocating 250000 bytes after a total of 134102464 bytes
nbgmake[1]: *** [s-attrtab] Error 1
nbgmake[1]: Leaving directory `/obj/tools/gcc/build/gcc'
nbgmake: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

*** Failed target:  .build_done

Is that not enough ram to build gcc anymore?  It seems a bit excessive.
