12 We have the same amount of RAM, but building dev-lang/R doesn't come
13 close to using it all on my machine, even with MAKEOPTS="-j4"...

25 That will work around the issue, and you may have to use that trick for
26 some other packages like firefox/LLVM with "only" 6GB of RAM. But it
27 doesn't explain why I can build dev-lang/R and you can't.

29 What USE flags does "emerge -pv1 dev-lang/R" show? Are you willing to
30 watch "htop" in another window while the dev-lang/R build fails to see
31 how much memory is free?
