Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 38.4.0 release

[Dimitris Arvanitis]

Hallo!

Well, to repeat it: I am NOT running out of memory during compilation
and I do NOT use a 32 bit system, but 64 bit. There is plenty of hard
disk space available.

I tried it on a second Debian 8 system, also failed. Interestingly, I
was able to compile and install without any problems on a Debian 7
system with only 2 GB memory. Now, that is strange. I compared the two
mozconfig files, both of the successful compilation and the failing one,
but they are the same. Is there anything else I could check or compare
to find the error?
