@Francis, there seem to be two totally separate problems here:

One is the Java error "Could not reserve enough space for object heap" which is that Java can't start in the 1.5GB or whatever the builder vms have. I don't know how that could be fixed other than by giving them more memory or tweaking the build script to cope with less memory or to use a different jvm as suggested above. That's what this bug 693524 seems to be mostly about.

The other is what happened in <https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/173422> with "bzr: out of memory" which is what I hope will be fixed soon by this rollout. I have locally tested bzr 2.4 and current bzr-builder in a 1GB ulimit and they did successfully build the projectneon recipe. When that rollout completes this should be fixed. That's bug 746822.

As far as I know this bug has nothing to do with bzr (my comment #16 was misplaced) and this does not affect linaro.
