I've had enough problems on even 256MB machines with the relinking that's done in the background after booting. The LLVM linker uses quite a lot of memory, you have better chances if you hack the script to use the old binutils one (IIRC it's something like putting "-fuse-ld=bfd" in the right place). > Apparently 64MB was enough for 6.7 > (https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2020-06-21/0/POSTING-en.html) > but that was then, e.t.c. The author does disable kernel and library relinking though.
