I found an easy method of solving memory shortage on my OrangePiPC, running Armbian Bullseye.
It has 1 GB RAM and 0.5 GB swap, i.e. total 1.5 GB which proved insufficient to build dump978-fa from source-code.
As my microSD card has enough free space, I decided to create a 1 GB swap file, making total memory 2.5 GB (1 GB RAM + 0.5 GB original swap + 1 GB swap file created by me). With this arrtangement I could build dump978-fa.

HOW TO ADD SWAP FILE
STEP-1: Calculate block size for 1 GB swap file
1 GB = 1000 MB
Block size = 1024 * 1000MB = 1024000 blocks
STEP-2: Login as root
pi@orangepipc:~$ su -
Password:
root@orangepipc:~#
NOTE:
All steps below should be performed as root.
STEP-3: Create 1 GB (1024000 block) swap file “my-swap”
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/my-swap bs=1024 count=1024000 status=progress
STEP-4: Setup correct file permission for security reasons. Following commands make sure only root user can read and write to the my-swap file.
# chown root:root /my-swap
# chmod 0600 /my-swap
STEP-5: Set up a Linux swap
# mkswap /my-swap
STEP-6: Enable the swap file by following command
# swapon /my-swap
STEP-7: Open file /etc/fstab for editing
# sudo nano /etc/fstab
Add following line at bottom of file /etc/fstab to automatically enable my-swap on reboots.
/my-swap none swap sw 0 0
Save and close the file.
