Have you ever tried using the -pipe flag as a default build flag?  It
should nullify any need to run mfs /tmp, at least for compiling.  I'd
be curious if it makes a difference in your case.  (Is there any
reason -pipe isn't default in sys.mk?  Does it use up *that* much more
memory while building?)
