On the higher end, a Gigabyte MP30-AR0/AR1 is a monster and it takes standard DDR3 DIMMs, but it is quite expensive. I got one specifically for compiling packages. If you decide to go down that route, if you rebuild the kernel with the more reasonable 4KB page size, you can run a 32-bit chroot or docker container on an aarch64 host (that is the setup I use). I filled mine up with 128GB of RAM, so even bloadware like LibreOffice and web browsers can compile entirely on tmpfs, which helps significantly.
Instead of buying you can rent such a machine at packet.net for $0.5 per hour. https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/servers/type-2a/
