Auto merge of #30248 - petevine:master, r=brson
Running `/usr/bin/time -v make` to build rust (using local llvm) shows the maximum memory usage at 715 megabytes on 32-bit x86 (on arm linux it's even less @ 580M). Reworded according to @brson's [input](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/30196#issuecomment-162088921).
