So I have this VM which only has 256 MB of memory and 9.1-R installed.
I want to update it to RELENG_9, but buildworld swaps so bad it grinds
nearly to a halt. Even make -j1 -B runs into very heavy swapping. So
two questions:
1. Is there anything I can do to set a limit on how much memory the
compiler uses?
2. If I crossbuild for this machine, can I get away with doing
buildworld on a buildbox, ship the obj tree, and do installworld and
mergemaster on the VM? It's been a few enternities since I did a cross
build and back then it was crossbuilding releases.
