[oe] Problem building kernel - too many files open

[Piero Pezzin]

Hello everyone,

I'm building a minimal distribution for a x86 machine (my host is a x86-64
with CentOS 4.4):

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.8.12"
METADATA_BRANCH   = "org.openembedded.dev"
METADATA_REVISION = "a8a23e995d108ecdfc31129941671551c591bc6e"
TARGET_ARCH       = "i486"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "x86"
DISTRO            = "minimal"
DISTRO_VERSION    = ".dev-snapshot-20090310"
TARGET_FPU        = ""


During kernel building, I got the following error:

Does anyone know what's happening?

Thanks in advance and best regards.
