Issue body
I tried to build Juju via snapcraft + multipass, however, the VM ran out of memory and OOM killer killed the linker process. Considering that this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1822265 was closed with a note that SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT_MEMORY is for development/debugging only there needs to be a standard way to do it as some software requires more that 2 GiB of memory to be built.
