Common PC hardware setups OOM when building Hostboot #190

Description

@stewartsmith

16GB memory, 8 core Ryzen 7 (with HT, so 16 threads) will OOM when building current hostboot, and adjusting parallelism through buildroot configuration does not seem to take effect.

The culprit appears to be somewhere in image generation, with the objdump processes spawned taking up to 2.2GB memory each.

IIRC this is spawned from the Linker, which probably doesn't respect parallelism and instead grabs nprocs or something.

This is all on Fedora 31.
