Not just distcc! We already regularly see problems with a combination of
(a) tons of RAM, (b) a dozen CPUs and (b) matching MAKEOPTS and (d)
-pipe, where concurrent linker jobs surprisingly consume all of the
RAM and one or more linker jobs segfault or get killed. Anyone's
MAKEOPTS calculation should already include all of those factors.
