There is no "limit" command, only ulimit. And there is no man page for
ulimit!!!??? Hmm? Ah!? Ahhh! It is a shell builtin command. I will RTFM.

Is this also affected by "maxusers"?

[root@oblina src]# cat /etc/mk.conf 
CFLAGS=-pipe -O2
I added the -pipe to go around temp files, due to the advice of 
Aaron J. Grier. I thought that 32MB RAM and 64MB swap should be enough.
The machine run fine through a kernel compile with -j 8 and used only
a vew megs of swap. OK?

The next build attempt is running. I will see tomorrow if it is
successful.
