I tried compiling nethack with gcc too, but ran into different problems.
I have a UNIXPC with 2.5MB of ram and a 62MB winchester.  It compiled and
linked (apparently) O.K.
However, when I tried to save/restore levels or arrive on a bones level it
bombed.
I finally used stock cc and that got it running.

How much swap space do you have?
