I did a 'time make -j zImage modules' on 2.1.131ac4 to test my system out
today, and relatively early random gcc's, cpp's, and make's started dying. No
other program anywhere was killed, only the ones involved in this compile run.
What was odd, was that the top level make was killed, so the other makes kept
running in the background. a killall make helped that on another console, but
shouldn't the kernel kill child processes first, before parents in low-mem
situations? or at least make it a sysctl option.
