Possible linker bug

[Acadix Info]

Wondering if anyone has run into this before.  I get this error on two 
iBooks of different models, FreeBSD 8.1,
portsnap from Dec 5.  Possible memory leak in ld?  Any suggestions would 
be appreciated.

Thanks,

When building webkit-gtk2 (prereq for gimp), I get the following error:

     CXXLD  libwebkit-1.0.la
   c++: Internal error: Killed: 9 (program ld)
   Please submit a full bug report.
   See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
   gmake[1]: *** [libwebkit-1.0.la] Error 1
   gmake[1]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/ports/www/webkit-gtk2/work/webkit-1.2.5'
   gmake: *** [all] Error 2
   *** Error code 1

Googling the error message suggested I was running out-of-memory.  Hard 
to believe with 512 megs RAM and 1G swap but I added 2G more swap and 
then got the following (after an hour or so of thrashing and watching ld 
swallow all virtual memory in top):

After disabling video in webkit-gtk options and trying again:
