Probably only tangently related, but I wasn't able to link an amd64
GENERIC kernel on a machine with 512MB of RAM, and even using "MKCTF=no
NOCTF=yes" at least got something build but was extraordinarily slow to
do so.  I never worried about raising a PR for that as I figured the
world had moved on...

Cheers,
Simon.
