looking at the results of pikefarm for my indy, it appears that the build process tries to do to many things at once and my machine can't cope with it.
As far as I can see, it looks like it runs out of memory during configure; it didn't do this with the builds from a few weeks ago.
How much memory and swap does the machine have? Are there any hanged processes on the machine? Is /tmp or /usr/tmp ram filesystems? If they are, is there a lot of data in them? Does it fail in the same manner if you try to build by hand? If it does, can you try adding a set -x to the main configure-script after the block of echos starting with "Compiler summary:"?
is there any way the build process can be made less taxing on the machine? there is hardly anything else running on it.
configure is about as light weight as it gets...
