Is it possible to get a machine with more virtual memory?

I noticed in  the log that all the virtual  memory exhaustion failures
occur in build the log library.  There have been complaints about this
library on the Boost list recently.   For some reason, this library is
by far the biggest one of Boost.  There have been reports that some of
the Windows  testers are  failing on this  library because  the linker
takes so long that the test times out.

One simple answer: disable building Boost.Log.

All of those are worth a try.
