By default pybombs runs make with the "-j4" option, allowing it to compile
things in parallel.  This typically helps the compile go quicker.  I
certainly wouldnt expect the gnuradio compile to have issues like this, but
you could edit the gnuradio recipe to force it not to use the "-j4" option
by adding:

make {
    make
}

This basically overwrites the template pybombs uses for the make
stage, which uses the "-j4" by default. It will result in a longer
compile time, and again I wouldnt expect a machine with 4GB of RAM to
have any problems, even with that option, but its something to try.
