Keep in mind that Alpha is a very memory hungry architecture. In
addition gcc(1) and ld(1) can be real memory hogs. (E.g. gcc(1) easily
eats up to 1 GB RAM when compiling heavy C++ stuff like qt / KDE.) I was
bitten by the "GENERIC.MP needs to much RAM" problem too, but tweaking
ulimit was enough as that alpha has 640 MB RAM.
