Hi,
it's much likely that you cannot build a kernel in tmpfs. By default your 4G RAM are 2G tmpfs. However, if you configure to build a slim kernel, it might work, let alone that you should get an "out of space" error, if you run out of space. Swapping by providing way enough swap space never worked for me, if tmpfs didn't provide enough storage space or inodes.
If you add something like
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=3G 0 0
to /etc/fstab it might not help. Better build outside of tmpfs.
Since you don't get an "out of space" error message there much likely is another issue.
I did nothing to make it use tmpfs. Should I explicitly take some actions to get it outside of tmpfs? As I wrote in https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/users/cbdfe95166fd49d4a2c1d93823f416aa/ , before v6.1.6, or so, I could build a much trimmed down configuration. Than too, I took no explicit actions to take it outside of tmpfs. -- u34

-- No Gigbyte support without a Windows installation! This is more than simply not supporting Linux.
For Gigabyte motherboard support I need to provide a screenshot of the msinfo32 output. They don't accept providing the information about the used BIOS version and similar without such a screenshot. No msinfo32, no support, even for something unrelated to an installed operating system, like the power-on self-test. However, one of my issues is related to Linux as the PC speaker doesn't work with Linux so I asked support to test if the PC speaker works with Windows as this could be an all OS issue. They didn't check if a PC speaker can be used with Windows.
