> I never tried, but I highly doubt either gcc or Clang could be built with 16 MB of RAM, even serially, at any point in the last 10 years. Probably not even 20 years, though I could be wrong

Last week I tried to compile GCC on a machine with 8GB of ram (no swap). Compilation failed, I add to upgrade to 16GB.

I think the last time gcc could build with 16MB was last century.
