Please don't top post - a reply to multiple posts is itself awkward,
I didn't notice the redundant stuff at the end until I came to make
this reply.
Your mozconfig is probably ok - I don't have hunspell or gconf on
the machine where I tried this, but after I re-commented those it
built on an i3 64-bit 8.1 sysv system (-j4).
I only did the build, not a DESTDIR install, but at the end of the
build the source directory occupied 5.1GB (it started at 1.5GB).
While that was building, I reporteded the memory usage every 15
seconds - tha maximum was only 3.6 GB (about half way through the
build), the final link only seemed to take about 2.3GB - I'm sure
I've seen much bigger figures for about a minute when watching top
during the link of the versions I've put in the book. An i686 build
would be smaller, and only having two cores probably also makes the
memory usage smaller during the build.
So, I still think the absence of a modern CPU is the root cause.
