Version: 1:1.0.15.0-2
Severity: serious

Hi,

Your package is failing to build on amd64 with the following error:
//entering make-host-1.sh
//building cross-compiler, and doing first genesis
mmap: Cannot allocate memory
ensure_space: failed to validate 8589869056 bytes at 0x1000000000
(hint: Try "ulimit -a"; maybe you should increase memory limits.)
make: *** [build-arch-stamp] Error 1


The buildd host does not have 8GB of RAM + swap available.
