several things worth trying ---

(1) one user on this ng had some success renaming libstdcxx to libstdcx,
which of course avoided the 8.3 problem.  not really a perfect solution.

(2) you mentioned that virtual memory is the problem.  isn't virtual memory
actually hard disk space that the computer uses as extra memory?  how about
freeing up disk space?

(3) dos uses a tilde (~) to refer to long file names.  for example,
c:\program files\ = c:\progra~1\.  why not try using libstd~1 or libstd~2,
etc.?

i could be way off base here, i'll freely admit that.  but i wish you good
luck.
