try
#chmem +1000000 /bin/sh

You need to use chmem to increase the memory allotment of /usr/lib/
i386/cg. I suggest using "chmem +0 /usr/lib/i386/cg" to see what the
current memory allotment is, then doubling it and seeing if your
compilation can bedone. If you still have trouble, double it again...
and repeat until it works.

In general the various compiler component executables in /usr/lib/386
are set to default memory allotments that are adequate to compile the
Minix system and all the precompiled commands that are installed with
Minix. Many programs ported to Minix were originally written in
environments (i.e., Linux) where compiler components could access
unlimited amounts of memory, and compiling them in Minix requires this
kind of tweaking.

This has nothing to do with the amount of memory available to the
machine, it's all about the amount of memory a particular program is
allowed to use.
