Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] IceCat 38.4.0 release

Hallo!

Thank you. Unfortunately I am not able to compile it. It stops after
some minutes, these are the last lines of output:

There are some hits when searching the net, but no actual solutions. One
analysis suggests it is due to memory limits, 8 GB of RAM would be
necessary to successfully compile Firefox. But then again, this was only
reported with 32 bit Windows. I am using a fully updated 64 bit Debian
8.2 with 4 GB RAM memory, and RAM is not even near limit when compiling
aborts, swap is hardly touched.

Anyone got an idea? It is frustrating, I have yet to successfully
compile an IceCat version of the 38 branch.
