Follow-up Comment #19:

I think 2 GB is a good estimate. I have had build failures from even the
compiler not having enough memory on machines with only 1 GB, so I always
provision at least 2 GB when building Octave on a VM.

It's up to you what you want to do with OpenBLAS. Building Octave with a
specific link for OpenBLAS means that it will only ever run with OpenBLAS.
Building Octave against the reference BLAS library means that you can drop in
OpenBLAS later at runtime and Octave will use it. I always run configure with
the "--with-blas=blas" option to ensure that that is the case. IMHO building
and running the test suite with netlib BLAS is safer. If you distribute the
binaries you can let the user decide which BLAS library to use.

Closing this bug report.
