Probably you have one of the memory hungry GCC version!
What does your gcc -version show (gcc --version?)?
Any egcc on your system?
An alternative is to compile gambit with ./configure without --enable-single-host .
Probably the step in the install instructions you got to was the compilation of std/string/digest.scm . This takes ~2GB RAM on a good GCC version, say 75GB on a bad.

I tried to install black hole from the latest release (0.2) from git here https://github.com/pereckerdal/blackhole/releases.
The compile script issued a warning and after 5 minutes and 5GB of real memory consumption of clang, I needed to stop the installation to prevent my system from running out of memory.
This is on latest OS X 10.8.
Trying Marcs tip now.
