I have 16GBs of memory here and have /var/tmp/portage/ on tmpfs, no

I'm on 16GB as well, with a 9GB /var/tmp/portage tmpfs, and all of the
above build fine. No need to build them on disk.
Note that tmpfs does not consume any memory if there's no files in it!
So you can make your tmpfs larger. Here, 9GB is enough to build the
above. However, that's of course for when not using --jobs for emering.
Just regular -jN in MAKEOPTS.
