The question is not if there is available swap space, it is if the build is thrashing swap.
Does your ip22 have more than a single CPU core? Mine doesn't. Try removing the '-j2' from the build in order to reduce memory pressure.
If I had only 64MB of RAM I wouldn't try to do too much at the same time. David Daney
If you want to, you may look at
http://winnegan.doesntexist.com/mips/
to find the build log generated by
2>&1 sudo ./debian/rules build | tee ../build.log
as well as a screen shot showing top moments before I interrupted
the build.
@Thomas: please drop me a note to the 2nd address in my .signature
when done with above URL, I don't want to see traffic on that
site.
Thanks
