Hi!

In order to avoid memory exhaustation on 32-bit targets not using Gold,
please pass "--reduce-memory-overheads" to the linker:

ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),hppa m68k powerpc sh4))
        LDFLAGS += -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads
endif

I copied that flag from openSUSE where it is used on every target not
enabling the Gold linker [1] (line 300).

Thanks,
Adrian
