Hey Guido,
to build firefox (I haven't tested midori but if it needs qt you'll hit the same problem while building that beast) you need a big amount of swap. I've built firefox and chromium on the cubieboard2 without problems but I'm using 14GB of swap file. Probably only ~8-9GB are needed.
If you can give a try and report it'd be great.
Regards,
Victor Martinez

That sounds great Guido. I'm using an external usb hdd for this pourpose (pkgmk work dir and a swap file).
Lot of patience with this big build. I hope it'll finish right soon.
Regards, Victor.
