Anybody any thoughts on why the tdebase (from git)

might expect.
On a desktop PC with 6 cores and 32GB ram, the build uses over 7GB of
ram in the first couple of minutes ( I didn't build to the end, just
wanted a quick check). Not many embeded systems are that ram abundant :)
On the arm devices I've tried to natively build on, all the ram is used
almost immediately (largest ram I have is 2G) and I can throw swap space
at it ad infinitum without success.

My little builder has 12 GiB RAM. It is also used as tmpfs where is carried
out building. A build for amd64/i386 run in parallel with armel, armhf and
mips. That means four builders running side by side. And I did not notice
problems with memory.
