I think it's also possible to cut back the amount of useless drivel pulseaudio depends on. > 3) Building qemu0 on netbsd-6 i386 failed, filling up /var. I have gcc > 4.5.3, and I'm using ccache.

I've often found I have to cut back MAKE_JOBS for building qemu to keep it from OOMing. -- David A. Holland [email protected]
