Yeah, that's what I did and should probably ask both ports' maintainers
to change the defaults.

I only build LLVM 11 which is sane (and ccached), same for QtWebEngine.
I also only build GCC 8 with BOOTSTRAP disabled, and LTO is disabled
universally for all ports.  This makes the ports usable on an average
user's machine (adjusting GCC_DEFAULT?=8 in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk
and LLVM_DEFAULT=11 in graphics/mesa-dri/Makefile.common).  I've tried
building Rust once and it simply ran out of RAM (or so it seemed from
the build log).
