  These are the configurations in my make.conf. Details can be found in
  make.conf(5).

On my system I have in make.conf
PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm"

and in fstab:
shm                     /dev/shm        devtmpfs        nodev,nosuid,noexec  0 0
tmpfs           /var/tmp/portage        tmpfs           defaults      0 0

which uses half of my ram for compiling packages. So 4GB is OK for most of them 
except the big ones.
