Tried that; I did some testing in real-time with the folks in
#debian-devel. It appears to be a problem with the kernel VM handler
(perhaps ppc specific) in 2.2.18pre21.
Here are the machine's stats:
processor : 0
cpu : 601
clock : 90MHz
revision : 0.2
bogomips : 89.99
zero pages : total 0 (0Kb) current: 0 (0Kb) hits: 0/655 (0%)
machine : Power Macintosh
motherboard : AAPL,7300 MacRISC
memory : 56MB
pmac-generation : OldWorld
56MB ain't a lot but it should be plenty for almost any compile.
