Did you try having a look at your whether your system has to swap
to disk or not during compiling and especially linking? Top or
Activity monitor can give you some insight.
From my own experiences, g++ can take insane amounts of memory on
templated code. For example crypto++ takes an absurd amount of memory
to compile if optimizations are turned on:

Compiling one project which contains a small subset of crypto++ will
cause over a gigabyte of pages to be swapped out (well, it has 1 GB
of swap files in /var/vm). These swap files never seem to get
reclaimed, even after g++ has finished compiling.
