Compiling the git sources with the following command eats up all available CPU cores/threads and after a while all available RAM (~10/11 GB) too:

make V=0 PLATFORM=vpp TAG=vpp pkg-deb

Are there variables which could be set to limit the max number of threads and the max size of RAM that can be used by the build system?

If not, it is very necessary to implement them.

I also find the memory consumption too high: it seems that it is not released correctly during the build because it keeps increasing.
