(It must be a pretty big test.)

You need to increase maxdsiz with kmtune(1m). You probably have it at 256 Mb and you need to make it bigger. Make sure maxdsiz_64bit is larger than maxdsiz.

>swapinfo

This is near useless, you need to provide the "swapinfo -tam" output.

yes, that is right, i check maxdsiz and it is equivalent to 256M

bash-3.2# kmtune | grep maxdsiz
maxdsiz 0x10000000 - 0x1000000
maxdsiz_64bit 0x40000000 - 0x4000000

i follow Dennis's suggestion, modify maxdsiz to 0x40000000 while maxdsiz_64bit to 0x80000000, the error message disappeared and my test program build normally.

thx for Dennis's help
