I have a very small virtual server (just 64MB RAM, no swap) where I'm
trying to install Gentoo. It fails to emerge binutils due to out of

bare minimum so this result is not entirely unexpected.

Given that I can't add a swapfile (simply not possible in this virtual
server) is the only option more RAM? If yes, then what is the minimum?
Are there ways to reduce the amount of memory used by emerge?

Do you have another more powerful gentoo machine available where you can build the packages there and install just binaries on the virtual server?

Thats exactly what Nikos suggested!!!
