ld.exe segfault when building
First off, I hope this is okay to post for this forum. Let me know if it isn't!

So I followed the instructions to build Mozilla's calendar, and everything was going nicely. I've tried this in both regular command line and cygwin. But whenever I get to /mozilla/layout/build, specifically the file gklayout.dll, it always fails.

Most of the time, the terminal window flies by info, but when it gets to this point, it stops. Using task manager, every time I try to build, when it gets to this part, ld.exe gets up to 48-50 CPU and stays static at 304,304 K memory once it builds up to that specific amount. Then, after 5-10 minutes, the memory fluctuates again, CPU fluctuates down, and I quickly get the following error:

"collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
make[1]: *** [gklayout.dll] Error 1"

It leaves the directory; then and back to the prompt.

I have a gig of memory, 2.8 GhZ. Windows XP SP 2. Two 200 GB drives, C: is set to system managed VM size. I: is set to 2500-3000. Total paging file size for all drives: 3534 MB.

This is my first time building something like this. So I'm not sure what to do at all. Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Thanks for your help!

Any advice?
well, if nobody knows that's ok. But if that's so, does anyone know where I could at least begin looking or asking around?

thanks!
