Oh, wait, there is only 3Gbyte of user space, I don't know if you can get all of the source code to OO in only 3Gbytes.
Compile on a mounted drive.

Back in the day, I did big compiles in a tiny OpenWRT WRT54G, using a swap file on an nbd (network block device) drive mounted over wifi! Nfs and SMB could not be used reliably for a swap file, so I used nbd instead (which worked great even over wifi).

Then I used a huge network share to contain all the stuff I was building. You can use a network share to get past that 3GB limit.
