Thank you. So if I take the first and last line of rebase's default output
the difference in the 3rd field tells me how much space is required,
correct?  In my cleaned up installation it is 879.5 MB.  Is it possible to
give a limit up to which this number may grow?  Exactly what memory/address
space is being reserved here?

In my installation LLVM takes up a lot (and for some reason I have three
different versions installed - have to get rid of some) but the biggest
is qt4:
