Getting the following error when tring to build:
/home/adriantamas/android-ndk-r8c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-androideabi/4.6/../../../../arm-linux-androideabi/bin/ld: fatal error: libxul.so: mmap: failed to allocate 1047420952 bytes for output file: Cannot allocate memory

Using Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS x64, ndk r8c and the latest android sdk.
Machine specs: AMD FX(tm)-8320, 8GB Ram, 8GB swap

I have no problem building the sources from mozilla-central from the 18th of March using the same configurations.

Mozconfig file:
. $topsrcdir/browser/config/mozconfig
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-android
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-s -j8"
ac_add_options --enable-debug

This reported issue sounds similar, if not the same, to the recently raised B2G bug 854535.

same root cause, but we might need to build seperate x86_64 sdks for each of b2g and android I'm not sure which version b2g uses at this point...

Android NDK r8e has know a x86_64 version. Could that help?

Build works with NDK r8e x86_64 and the mozconfig:
