How much RAM is needed to build Brave Browser?

I’m trying to build Brave Browser on a decent workstation (i5-16300K CPU, 32GB of RAM), and i’m running into an error that seems to indicate that I my RAM is too limited (according to Grok).
I was able to run the build on another workstation with 64 GB of RAM

```

```

Is the RAM really the issue? If so, is there a workaround?

I checked and it seems the gen/v8/src/builtins/builtins-effects.cc file is missing for some reason
