Snes9x-gtk killing my swap when compiling

I run Arch64 on my laptop and when I try to compile snes9x-gtk from aur, all it does is get stuck on one part:

mv -f .deps/snes9x_gtk-tile.Tpo .deps/snes9x_gtk-tile.Po

and from there my HDD is just reading and writing from swap like crazy. I left it a good 30 min to see if something would happen but nothing. Both my RAM and Swap were filled my the end of it and when I cancelled it, my swap emptied out and my ram returned back to normal. Could it be the code?
