I had a similar problem with my trim slice after upgrading it to
12.04, which has only 1GB memory.  The daft buggers left swap turned
off in the kernel, so I had to recompile linux with it enabled.  Got
myself a serial cable (saved my life!) to get access to the boot
console to first test that the built image work, then voila - I can
now compile gcc. \o/
