Indeed, all passes of compilation. But that seems to exclude the pass of asld. So thats where your problems arise. I have found no way to persuade asld to use anything else than the /tmp dir. >I am trying to compile > all of the V1.5 commands.

A solution would be to mount a large enough file system on the /tmp dir before starting compilation. asld will be slower of course but there would be room enough. > How should I go about increasing my RAM disk size, if that's the only > option?
