Yes, I notice the same thing on smaller (limited memory) machines.
The problem is that we really have a lot of dependencies between .java
source files, and there are really a lot of these in the core library.
We are pushing make a bit too hard it seems.
This might be caused by my patch to reduce compile time in classpath. I
know I tested memory use back then, but this might have only been with
respect to the gcj invocations. I'll try reversing this patch and retest
later today or tomorrow. But if someone has time earlier then please let
me know if reverting this helps or not.

* lib/split-for-gcj.sh: Cut list to 3 package levels deep.

Andrew Haley also had a suggestion for the step just before this one in
the build process, rewriting split-for-gcj in awk. But I believe that
would still result in the same memory use for make.

Other suggestions welcome.
