Amusingly, as I have no problem with a normal build of Emacs 24 on the
same machine.

Emacs bzr main branch, configured as:

./configure --prefix=/home/repo/emacs-minimal/installed --without-pop
--without-sound --without-sync-input --with-x-toolkit=no --without-xpm
--without-jpeg --without-tiff --without-gif --without-png
--without-rsvg --without-xml2 --without-imagemagick --without-xft
--without-libotf --without-m17n-flt --without-toolkit-scroll-bars
--without-xaw3d --without-xim --without-gpm --without-dbus
--without-gconf --without-gsettings --without-selinux --without-gnutls
--without-makeinfo --without-compress-info --without-x

Building on a machine with 2Gb RAM and ~3Gb swap, my build ends:

On looking at the resultant 2Gb core dump, I see:

Core was generated by `/home/rrt/repo/emacs-minimal/src/temacs -batch
-l loadup dump'.
Program terminated with signal 7, Bus error.

and the stack seems to have eaten much if not most of the memory, as
it goes on the same way up to at least 320,000 (at which point I got
bored of holding down RETURN to produce more backtrace).
