I built on a CentOS 64-bit system with 1GB RAM, and a test in arith.py
fails due to swapping leading to a timeout.  The test in question is a
*massive* performance regression, I think caused by a patch of Craig
Citro.  I've created a blocker ticket for this here:

  http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4939

I've posted  a patch there, and hope somebody will review it (hint,
hint: Craig.)

I think this should be a blocker since it prevents doctests pass on
what I view as a supported platform (namely 64-bit machines with <=
1GB RAM).
