I seem to have gotten fairly far on the NetBSD/macppc side by creating
symlinks from "lib*.so" to the "lib*.so.1.0" everytime it stops like this
and then starting "gmake" again(kind of tedious though). I noticed
a variable in the configure script, "NEED_BASE_DLL_NAME_ALSO",
that seems to be supposed to address this, but it doesn't occur in any
of the Makefiles. Setting it seems to make no difference.
Anyway, my efforts seem to be stymied by lack of memory:
nsHTMLAttributes.o: could not read symbols: Memory exhausted
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [libraptorhtml.so.1.0] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/mozilla/layout/build'
gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/mozilla/layout'
gmake: *** [install] Error 2
This kind of seems odd, though as I have 64MB of real memory, of which top
claims 47MB are free. I also have plenty of free swap:
schizo# swapctl -l
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Priority
/dev/sd1b 132462 0 132462 0% 0
This is on NetBSD 1.4X from the April 15 tar files.

p.s. I also wound up forcing the "NO_LD_ARCHIVE_FLAGS" variable
in configure as otherwise I wound up with "undefined reference" errors
on linking. Not sure what is up there.
I'v never seen anything like the above on NetBSD/i386 when trying to do
the builds. What is the user process limits on the user that is
attempting to build Mozilla???
