Can you, please, explain how to restrict the memory for compilation?
For the type checking, it works
   $ agda $agdaLibOpt $agdaFlags Foo.agda  +RTS -M7G -RTS

Then I try compilation (MAlonzo ...):

   $ agda -c $agdaLibOpt $agdaFlags Foo.agda  +RTS -M7G -RTS 
--ghc-flag="-rtsopts"

It reports things like
   [215 of 218] Compiling MAlonzo.Code.GenAlgebraZ45ZIV ( 
MAlonzo/Code/GenAlgebraZ45ZIV.hs,
    MAlonzo/Code/GenAlgebraZ45ZIV.o ),

and the `top' command shows the current memory usage of about  16 Gb 
instead of 7.
And the process that takes it is identified as  ghc.

My aim is to find out whether the project can be compiled on a  8 Gb  
machine.
I tried to append there
   --ghc-flag="+RTS" --ghc-flag="-M7G"

but this is not accepted.

Thanks,
