I don't mind the build time. And given the list of CVE's I'd be scared 
to keep using 156.

Interestingly Greg's suggestion to set use the --max-old-space-size 
argument worked albeit with a much larger value than he suggested. :)

I set the environment variable
NODE_OPTIONS to '--max-old-space-size=8192' globally before starting the 
script which builds my packages.
In modern node system that is 8GB of old GC objects. Modern node sizes 
this on pointer size and reported system memory size so for very large 
systems it might work without it.
