Comment(by vbraun):
In principle we could add limits, but then its hard to say precisely what
they ought to be. I've seen gcc use >1gb of ram and take quite a long time
and still produce the correct output. We could use something like (total
available ram)/(#parallel makes)-256MB but then thats hard to implement
and assumes that all parallel makes use the same amount of ram. And
detecting the overall amount of ram is again very system-dependent. I
think that GCC hanging and/or eating all memory is a rather rare failure
mode for gcc, so at this point we shouldn't spend that much effort on it.
