Been getting quite a few build failures lately with messages like this:
as: can't fork a new process to execute: /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/
as (Resource temporarily unavailable)
I'm not particularly worried about it as it seems to be transitory. A
reboot will most likely cure it. The "kern.maxprocperuid" sysctl
setting of 100 seems to be the most likely culprit. Does that seem
fairly low to anyone else?
