Abe reports that he succeeds with building Xercex after increasing the
heap_chunk_in_mb in his registry to 1GB:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin]
"heap_chunk_in_mb"=dword:00000400


Maybe that helps for QT too?  I could build Xerces too with this
setting.  Strange about this is that it works if defined in HKCU
but not if defined in HKLM as I did at first.  Nicholas, try to
increase the heap_chunk_dings, and the again it is a (again) a
Cygwin problem, the default heap_chunk_in_mb is 128MB which is
really too small.
