To be honest, I don't know. I have 8G here, and it's entirely
sufficient for -j3 build. I don't experience major linking problems
as I used to, so things might have improved on binutils end.

Hi,
when I compile LLVM for myself, I also always choose SHARED_LIBS simply
because of RAM usage when linking the libraries. In the past, I was not
able to link the single library on my 16 GB machine (I have not tested
it now and this could be dependent on other circumstances). What is the
current expected RAM usage for LLVM 10?

[gentoo-dev] Packaging changes in LLVM 10
Hi,
Since 10.0.0 final is around the corner, I'd like to take a minute to
inform developers of packaging changes in Gentoo that affect its
revdeps. Following frequently repeated requests from Gentoo developers
and users, LLVM 10 is stopping to use BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, i.e. split
shared libraries. Instead, we'll be using the 'dylib' model recommended
upstream.
This means that sys-devel/{llvm,clang} no longer install those small
libLLVM*.so and libclang*.so files. Instead, one big libLLVM-${ver}.so
and libclang-cpp.so.${sover} are installed (yes, I know this historical
inconsistency sucks). Also note that Clang continues installing
libclang.so which is a *C* (not C++) library.
Most of LLVM revdeps should not have problem with LLVM dylib, as it was
the de-facto standard on other distros. llvm-config handles it
transparently. If you're dealing with a custom build system that
doesn't handle it, it's as simple as trying '-lLLVM' first (note that
you will '-L' due to slotting).
Clang revdeps may have trouble with clang-cpp library since it's
a fairly recent addition. Again, the solution is simple: '-lclang-cpp'
(repeating: do not confuse it with -lclang which is a different library
for historical reasons).
sys-devel/lld does not install any libraries anymore. If you ever need
them, please ping me and we'll try to come up with something upstream.
dev-util/lldb installs liblldb.so. However, I'm not familiar with that
library and I don't know if it has any consumers.
If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ping me.
