Confirmed.  I measured gcc-4.0.3's memory usage on that file.
It uses 120MB, and for long enough that swapping is not really an option.

One workaround for people developing on 64MB machines
is to edit oleauto32/tests/Makefile to replace -O2 with -O0.
Memory usage still exceeds 64MB with that, but not by as much,
and for less time, so it should be bearable.

But it's reasonable to consider splitting up or otherwise speeding up the
compile of vartest.c (and vartype.c, but that's not quite as bad, it only
used 92MB in my approximate test).
