You are right, setting keepmem=0 solved the problem. 4 MB RAM systems are probably becoming quite rare, I think I should upgrade rather soon... What I don't understand is why this a) happens only without EMS, b) happens although make + gcc together occupy less than 3 MB even when not being swapped to disk, c) the system crashes instead of reporting 'out of memory'. This time I refrain from speculating :-) Thanks for the advice, and best regards, Stefan.
