If you are using the default Tiny BSD swap space (5MB) you will have to increase it. This solved my problem. The word of mouth rule-of-thumb is 2 times physical memory. I have 8MB, but I made a swap of 12MB (since it's usually just me on the system). My buildworld.sh and make depend, ... etc. all worked fine after that. The only problem -- you'll have to save everthing, re-disklabel, newfs, and restore everthing!!
