Make has a terrific leak. I compiled up a different version (sorry,
proprietary). You may want to try gnumake.
I used to get around the problem by doing:
make -n > foo
vi foo
sh foo
Now I have a grundle of memory and it doesn't matter any more. You can
try any or all of these; one of them will probably kill the problem.
