I had trouble with building the Linux kernel/gcc/gnat/emacs/things
that required a lot of resources to compile. This sort of thing has
been attributed to hardware (eg, doubtful memory) in the Linux
groups. It went away for me after a recent kernel upgrade (2.0.17);
but since I had the box apart in the same timescale and took the
opportunity to jiggle the SIMMs I think this is a dubious datum :-)
