I also had never seen/hit that one before; now I have, during a GCC
build, after about 11 h of compiling:

    [...]
    checking whether the target can unlink an open file... yes
    checking whether the target has CRLF as line terminator... no

... with the assertion failure on the Mach console (nowadays on
ext2fs/pager.c:782).

Likewise for me: 6.9 GiB disk space left, and 1 GiB of RAM with only 7
MiB swap used.
