I also get a lot of memory use when building pypy 1.6 on a 64 bit
Debian system with gcc 4.4.5.

The machine has 3 Gigabytes of physmem.  I let one build attempt run
for 2 or 3 days before killing it.

The same system built pypy OK with a 32 bit OS, though they were
builds of nearby pypy trunk's, not 1.6.
