After enabling 16MB swap, I have seen gcc internal compiler errors several times (I know that a proper way of development is to use scratchbox, but installing gcc using apt-get was a faster way to get something compiled for the device). After disabling swap and compiling the same projects again, no ICEs were observed. But that might be just a coincidence. By the way, are there any hardware diagnostics tools to test system stability on Nokia 770? For example defective memory is quite common on desktop PCs, so I always suggest running memtest86 in the case when the system seems to behave strange.
