Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:45 mingwandroid]:
 > Is gitian builder 64bit capable? 64bit host toolchain *should* be
 possible (I built one a few months ago). You need to remove the "-m32"
 options from crosstool.config for this (and perhaps a few other options).

 Yes, it is. We are already building 64bit TBBs for Linux. For the
 background of my question I started a thread on Mozilla's dev.build list
 (which is not indexed yet) asking about the linker problem and the best
 answer I got back up to now is:
 {{{
 Well, it could still be that the linker mmaps a bunch of stuff and so
 while there's free ram the linker is out of address space.  I guess you
 need to get a 64 bit linker or find ways to get your linker to use less
 memory (maybe see if you can make it mmap less?).
 }}}
 I am currently trying to verify that theory (and one idea is to build
 everything on a 64bit system).
