Which Java runtime environment are you using? Oracle (Sun) Java could 
work better than OpenJDK.

r1067 would be from 2009-06-17, over 18 months old. Many things have 
been implemented since then.

Are you really trying to compile the entire Austria in a single tile 
using the mkgmap default style? I think that you should split it to 
smaller tiles with splitter.jar.

I have published my scripts and configuration files at 
http://www.polkupyoraily.net/osm/. I run them on Debian to create a map 
of Finland. You may want to adapt your translation from them.
