Uh...  How will setting the priority on my only swap device change anything
from the current configuration?  I'm already using it as swap; I don't
understand how setting its priority will help me out.  If I'm out of memory,
I'm out of memory.

: I ran a Debian distro on my GameCube, which uses glibc. I don't know
: of a uClibc [1] distro for the GameCube, but it would be a good fit
: along with Busybox [2]. You could trying building your own uClibc
: rootfs using Buildroot [3]. uClibc's goal is to be a drop-in
: replacement for glibc. It may not meet this goal 100%, but its
: coverage is very good.

So I presume the image provided does *not* use uclibc.  I have to get a
Linux system going to build stuff on first, then I'll work on getting a
uclibc-based image.

Thanks for the pointers!
