In practice, if you're building infrequently (say, provisioning a VM for Windows or Linux for occasional builds, not primary development), then 4 cores and 4GB of RAM appear to suffice (I've used 4GB for a Linux VM on my laptop and 8GB for a Windows VM on my desktop). For primary development that involves frequent invocation of mach build binaries, 8GB of RAM or more would be recommended.
FWIW, our build slaves have 4GB of physical RAM and 4GB of swap and we occasionally OOM our Win8 x64 PGO builds (worst-case scenario, I know). So yeah, 8GB plus swap sounds like a good idea :)
