You should definitely report that to the jikes
developers.

Hm, you could also try to remove the memory constraint
in rebuildLib.in, and reconfigure:

                # Limit heap to 32M in an attempt to
get it to
                # compile on machines with limited
memory
                JAVA="$JAVA -verbosegc -mx 32M -ms
30M"

Remove the part with -mx and -ms. 

Given that you have 64MB of memory, and 256MB of swap,
it should definitely compile in 300+ MB.

Jim, can I remove the memory constraint for now, as
long as we have compilation breakage, and don't have a
better solution than to compile all classes at once?

best regards,
