Thanks for this input!  The problem I see is that "make -i" will not only 
ignore out-of-memory conditions but *any* errors occuring.

Given that we generally test updates before releasing to our users we 
might get away with that, but these builds will not be reproducible: 
depending on the memory in her build machine, a user will get different 
results, some of which may match your positive experience, some of which
may not.

As an alternate approach, Maho-san and me are currently discussing to use
the new gmake-devel port which has fixes to address the situation on the
gmake side for the time being.
