Another common case of OOMs are people building inside a VM. Just yesterday I helped another mozillian figure out why his FxOS build had started to fail. It turned out he was building inside a VM with too many jobs and too little memory dedicated to it.
I often build in a VM. I allocate 2 CPUs and 2GB of RAM to it, which seems to be enough even to link xul.dll with debug symbols, although it takes a few minutes. (Linking it without symbols takes just seconds.) Given the amount of memory needed to link I haven't considered the case of running out of RAM during compiling, although I did manage to run out of virtual disk space for temporary files when I accidentally built with -j instead of -j3.
