On that theme, Raster previously highlighted the Crosswalk compilation
high-water mark to me as a current barrier to Tizen self-hosting.

Total memory on SoC for phones has been slow to rise (presumably because
1Gb or 2Gb has been adequate for running mobile technology).  Building
mobile technology is a different use-case.  Cross-compiling from Windows,
Linux and Mac has generally provided enough 'head room'.   As the line
between these two use-cases blur with convergence scenarios like that
proposed for the Ubuntu Edge (where your phone can do double duty as your
desktop) memory becomes a constraint.

I see that the newly announced Note 5 has 4Gb of memory.   Hurrah!   I
think that is the highest I have seen so far in a SoC, and I think we can
have reasonable hope that 4Gb of memory will arrive in a Tizen device at
some point reasonably soon.  We really need 8Gb.

Is it the Crosswalk link step which fails, Leon?  Or somewhere else?

I just got hold of a Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition.  300 Euro.  Still short of
memory (2Gb) but the screen (1920x1152) and Octo-core CPU (Quad core 2.2
GHz Cortex-A17 & quad core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7) and camera (20MP and 4K
video) are great.   Those are the kind of flagship specs which Tizen is
crying out for.

Random games industry fact.  Early versions of RenderWere did not provide
cross-compilation of assets, so you had to have an incredibly expensive PS2
devkit to build the binaries for your models and textures on target
device.   Really, really slowly!  Because the CPU/memory specs sucked
compared to desktop PCs of the same era -
