    Pure Lisp storage overflow (approx. 1173352 bytes needed)

    And, the resulting emacs behaves very strangely.

    Shouldn't we stop the building by error in such a case?

I don't see how that would be helpful.  The current code
is intended to show there is a problem, but also lets you debug
whatever fix you are testing.  You don't have to edit PURESIZE
and rebuild first.
