I have just experienced and solved such a problem, which in my case was
apparently caused by GCC's failure to optimize 15 large macros in Allegro
2.2+WIP colblend.c.

I was using p133/16mbRAM/60mbSWAP, but I suspect it's not a simple VM
problem because I increased the swap to 80mb and even 128mb and still got
the same error. With my lack of physical ram, GCC tends to thrash anyway,
so I'm not complaining. 8)

I simply changed -O3 to -O2 while compiling colblend.c (using my original
60mb swap), so your solution should be similar.
