I sometimes saw this type of output in my i586 test builds in a VM, even
after allocating more and more resources (RAM, disk space) to it. BTW,
no such problems with x86_64 VM, so I've long suspected some sort of
memory addressing problem.

After running with MAKEFLAGS-=-j1, I noticed a mention about virtual
memory exhaustion. This led to more resource allocation increases in the
VM, including adding more swap space but still no conclusive improvement
(sometimes failure, sometimes success).

Eventually, based on an idea which is not quite clear enough in my own
mind to try to explain, I set TMP=/var/tmp/SBo when running the
SlackBuild (overriding its TMP=/tmp/SBo). Since then the i586 VM has
built LO without problems using MAKEFLAGS=-j4 (LO versions 6.0.0.3 &
6.0.1.1).
