I just did a 'make -j zImage modules', and got this once:

try_to_free_page: physical ram 40960kB, min pages 320kB
try_to_free_page: free pages 320kB, async pages 0kB

Nothing else was running at the time besides top. I wasn't at my
desk when this message appeared, so I can't say what the load
average etc. was at the time. No ill-effects have been observed
resulting from this message.
