I tried building BRexx 2.1.9 on my aunts' WinXP (w/ 512 MB) computer
with GCC 4.6.1, and it exhibited a weird Bash malloc failure, leading
to a crash / reg dump at end of configure (but before any actual
compiling). But when I changed "-Os" to "-O" inside the .BAT, then it
worked fine and compiled appropriately. Then I tried again here
locally under DOSEMU but still no success (still hangs). It could just
be a memory limitation or whatever, but I suspect it's not. Or it
could be a bug in Autoconf 2.66, who knows. But more likely it's a
rare bug in DOSEMU.   :-/

Suggestions or ideas welcome!
