2020-09-20 22:32:01	apteryx	janneke: haha! the xz-bootstrap supports
--memlimit with % after all, my mistake was really silly... forgetting a
space between the args passed as XZ_DEFAULTS

I recall a similar error I had hit when working on adding multi-core
compression support to xz, but it ended up being just a mistake on my
part; the xz-bootstrap supported the required arguments just fine after
all.
