Do ^Z (control-Z) to get the kernel debugger. Do "dv freemem", which "dump
virtual address" of the "freemem" variable. If it displays 0, you've run
out of memory. That'd be my first guess, due to your configuration. 4 megs
was the baseline for pre-1.6, and with gcc 2.x in 1.6, I think 8 may have to
be the baseline.

Beware that in 1.6, you need an FPU to use GCC due to some lame techniques
used in code generation.
