I have a 133 MHz Pentium with 32 MB at home and it is possible
to compile GiNaC on this machine.

Try to compile GiNaC without optimization. The optimization step
eats a lot of memory (same in the check directory).

Or add some more swap space. You can add swap space during run time
with
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
mkswap swapfile
swapon swapfile
for an additional 64 MB swap file.

IIRC the -lcln step in configure needs about 70MB, so your 32 MB physical
+ 53 MB swap is not enough if you have some other processes like X
around.

Best regards
