If the mame maintainers are not particularly interested in keeping it working on armel, I think the way to resolve this would be to ask for it to be removed from armel, as Jeremy suggested in #1092719. If this is done, then the mame maintainers will also need to make sure subsequent versions don't flap between buildable and unbuildable over time. It might be best to add "Build-Depends: an-unsatisfiable-dependency [armel]" so that it will not be attempted. Or, if an armel porter can provide tested linker options to make the linker use less memory (perhaps by reducing debug symbols?), it might be possible to keep mame compiling. However, mame is already using various tricks to try to minimize its link-time memory consumption and they are not enough, and it's now in danger of being autoremoved from testing; so if armel porters want this, the time to suggest it would be *now*.

It turns out that the fix for #1093862, ie moving away from the gold linker, also fixed armel builds, at least for the last upload. I'm closing this bug so that MAME can transition.
