By default datasize is limited to 512MB, you'll only get something like
"fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 8 bytes)." and the build will stop.

I assume it's possible to increase kern.maxdsiz if there's enough swap.

I did the test with 600MB and 1GB, it worked with 1GB.  I think the
build requires less than 1GB; since my machine is slow I can't afford to
spend hours to find the right value (the box has 1GB of RAM).

To see the current value used, just use 'limit'.
