I don't know about PERL installation but virtual memory problems can usually
be solved by increasing swap space (allocate an additional partition for
swap, the use mkswap and swapon) or using less applications. If you're running
X it might be a good idea to kill it and compile the program in an Xless
environment.
Ofcourse it can always be a bug in gcc. I've ran accross a few that would
eat memory until it was exhausted. In that case why not just try to get the
original binaries?
