Version: 8.1dfsg-2
Severity: important

acl2 version 8.1dfsg-2 contains the following change:

| * Limit number of jobs on memory restricted machines

This change looks wrong and causes the build time to increase quite a
lot on 32-bit architectures, even if they have a lot of RAM. For example
on a fast i386 build daemon the build time went from ~5h to ~19h, which
is not acceptable.

The code computing the max number of jobs wrongly assume that the RAM
corresponds to what a process can allocate on the heap. This is not true
for 32-bit architectures, which can allocate only 2, 3 or 4GB per
process depending on the architecture.
