With only 64MB of RAM, another day maybe?  Freeing up memory, by
shutting down X for example, might help.

Perform the compile on your backend.  Ideally, you want to optimise
for P3 and a small memory system.  After the 'make' has finished, use
NFS to export the source directory.  Mount the NFS share on your xbox
and perform the 'make install' from there.

Hope this helps,
Alex
