Anybody any thoughts on why the tdebase (from git) build is so heavy on 
ram? It makes building on embedded systems even more arduos than one 
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.

Cheers,
Mike.
