Interesting point.

Does anyone know how much memory is needed to compile llvm+clang? GCC?

That varies widely on your linker and how many threads you use. I have compiled LLVM on systems with 4 GB of RAM, though; but have been forced to fall back on single-threaded compilation.

IDK about compiling llvm/clang, but using clang/llvm needs far less memory than gcc. I've used clang in machines with less than 256mb of RAM.
