ld: Cannot malloc memory during kernel rebuild

     Hi --
     
     We have this perplexing problem on our Alpha 2100/300 cabinet. When
     we try to rebuild the kernel, both generic and the revised one, we get
     the following error:
     
     ------------
     rm -f vmunix vmunix.sys
     loading vmunix.sys
     ld:
     Cannot malloc memory
     *** Exit 1 (ignored)
     chmod 755 a.out
     chmod: a.out: No such file or directory
     *** Exit 4
     Stop.
     -----------
     
     The machine has 512 megs of RAM and we've tried recompiling in single
     user mode as well, but nothing seems to work. We've also ran "test"
     in the firmware and the memory test came out good.
     
     Any ideas what could be wrong?
     Jon
