Yeah, gcc building LinBox by itself peaks at somewhere around
500-750MB Ram depending on the compiler used. g++ and templates is a
joke when looking at the insane amount of memory it requires. And
LinBox uses template template template template parameters [I might be
one level too deep, but I am not stuttering here]

Yeah, if you install some compat packages the Athlon binary on
sagemath.org might work, but it will probably depend on getting glibc
to play nice.

If you provide a VMWare image with Mandriva's minimal install + dev
tools we can build binaries more or less automatically.

No problem, let us know how it goes.
