If I compile GNU Go 3.1.24 without debugging information and configured
with
  ./configure --disable-dfa
I get an executable of a little more than 3M; with --enable-dfa (which
improves performance) it is about 1.4M more. With cache-size set to 16 M
(easy to adjust that, see the docs), it uses <= 22M of RAM on my GNU/Linux
system.

That sounds like more than enough memory. I guess you will just have to go
ahead and try it! GNU Go is all plain C, so I would not expect problems
with compilation -- but I have never tried cross-compilation.

Good luck,
