I'm sorry I could have misleaden someone here. I compiled it again, and the 
problem isn't related to pgcc. It really seems that it needs lots of memory.
I had to have more than 50MB free disk (on 16meg ram systme) to be able to 
compile it manually. Even with 130MB free, I can't compile it from within 
makefile. 
I looked a lot of times on the size of cwsdpmi.swp (by undelete) and never 
seen more than 17MB allocated.
