Sorry about that, I was modifying as I went and after updating mrustc to
a later commit the "if (true) add '-g'" spots in mrustc got changed to
depend on enabling debug, and I found that after removing -g from the
makefiles it wasn't being added anymore. I'll make sure to be more
careful in the future about commit attribution.

About mrustc/tools/minicargo/build.cpp, it looked to me like that was
specifically about building mrustc using the codeblocks IDE.

I've tried to rebuild rust-1.54 on my pine64, which has 2GB of ram and
4GB of swap and that didn't seem to be enough so I'm retrying that with
just 1 core. I'm also trying on my pinebook pro, with 4GB of ram and 6GB
of swap and I'll see if it works there or if it needs more tuning.
