I started with a Linux VM with 8G of physical RAM, and 4G of swap, and it wouldn’t compile using the instructions on Apple’s Github page (i.e., utils/build-script -t). I eventually managed to get it to build by bumping the VM’s RAM allocation up to 16G, and the amount of swap space to 14G. Even then, it took a very long time (I left it running overnight). It seems to be the linking phase that requires so much memory.
