I was thinking about -j1. I tried -j4. I thought I didn't need swap
with >=4GB
of RAM, but it makes sense. My machine kinda crawls trying to build
that
package. Oh man, I'll have to re-partition:-(
Although it borders on a religious argument, many/most agree you always
need at least a small amount of swap.

You can also set up a swap file instead of a swap partition. You'll
have to search for instructions, I didn't find it quick enough to
include a link.
