Thanks for the input, folks. I have ruled out OOM as the build rig has 6
GB of RAM, and top et al. didn't register any low-mem problems while the
build was going. At least Mr. Dean has confirmed it's not just me, so I will
continue watching the commit list. Also, the next time I build I'll see
if I can track it down and attempt to fix it (or at least figure
out what's getting built out of order).
