Try running ‘top’ or the Activity Monitor window while you do this. It sounds like the linker is either consuming address space like crazy, or maybe forking like crazy.

In any case, as answered on your other thread, the program you’re trying to build isn’t going to work because it’s trying to use the Linux/BSD kernel call ABI instead of Mach’s. (But of course, the linker shouldn’t blow up like this even given bad input.)
