This is *very* low, indeed.  Is this all the amount of free
space on your disk?  And this is *after* you install
DBLSPACE??  Or do you set TMP to point to a RAM disk (is H:
a RAM drive?)?  If the latter is true, then don't.

If I were you, I would also explore any possible way to
give GCC more *physical* RAM.  GCC needs about 2-2.5MB of
RAM to run (3.5MB when compiling C++ programs), so you will
see painfully slow compiles if you don't have at least that
much free RAM.  Do you use RAM disk?  If so, try making it
smaller, or toss it altogether.  If not, try making your
disk cache (you do use one, right?) smaller.  Failing all
this, buy more memory.
