I'm not sure there are buildds with more RAM. Note that the package failed in
the exact same way on kfreebsd-i386, which has 3GB of RAM + 4GB of swap. Since
all these arches are 32bits, more memory is probably not going to help.

Instead, perhaps you can make the build take less memory, e.g. by reducing the
optimizations (-O1?) or using some flags such as the linker's --no-keep-memory.

Cheers,
