Hello!

The problem with Ungoogled-Chromium is that it (at some point) uses
6-8GiB of memory *per core* during the build.

It would be great to codify this constraint in the package definition,
but I can't think of an easy way short of parsing /proc/meminfo.

For now we can disable parallel building, which will arguably provide
a better user experience than thrashing and crashing systems...

Thoughts?
