Is there anything more informative in the output before the errors you
showed?  Do you get the same errors from the different things you try
to compile, or are the symptoms (even slightly) different?  Do you
have process limits on memory (e.g., from login.conf: check the output
of limits(1) to be sure)?  Have you upgraded your base system?
