Hi Leonard,

Thanks for your confirmation on the build issue. As it's not a blocker for 1.7 
release now, then we can consider to backport the fix to 1.7.x branch when it's 
ready.
The only remaining item is how to deal with the multiple license header now, 
thank you for helping on this😊

Thanks,
-Ciyong

Thank you Ciyong. After further investigation, the build issue is not as severe 
as initially claimed on Github. I checked the high-water memory usage during 
single-process build: It's 2.7GB on master. On 1.7 release, high-level usage is 
2.2GB. This is much more acceptable than the previously claimed >16GB usage and 
thus not a blocking issue from my perspective. I'll later also report the 
numbers for 1.5 and 1.6.

Fixing the respective implementations to be more compiler-friendly would still 
be good.

Looking at the parallel-build high-level memory usage on a 96 core machine, I 
saw a 45% memory usage increase during build from 1.5 to 1.7.

Best regards
Leonard
