You don't say what version of the system you are running, but some of 
my colleagues have been building some code originally written for Suns
on an RS/6000, and they have had trouble with the linker eating up all 
the space.  Apparently, it doesn't free memory...

The work-around used there was to increase the paging space on the hard
disk.

Hope this helps.
