[erlang-questions] Compiling Erlang for the iPhone

I've gotten past the CPP fails error by setting it to the correct version
(iPhone SDK)  and have gotten it to configure correctly:


   - nano erts/configure
   - Search (Ctrl+W for nano) for "checking whether getaddrinfo accepts
   enough flags" without the quotes and then remove the entire line a couple
   lines down which contains the command "{ (exit 1); exit 1; }; }" and replace
   the whole line with a single "}" without the quotes.



export
CC=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1
export CPP=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/cpp
export LD="/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/ld"

But then when I run make, I get pretty far, but I run into an error at:

I get even further compiling directly on the iPhone, but when it goes to
compile pcre, it runs out of memory and reboots. Anyone have any ideas.
