[swift-users] memory requirements for building swift on linux?

[Kevin Lundberg]

I was able to build it on my 8GB macbook successfully, but there may be
platform differences there that caused that.

It seems that 4GB isn't enough either, fails when linking clang-3.8.
I'll have to figure something else out for linux for me. Thanks!
