Point of a compiler is to convert C code to machine code of hex/binary/object file in least amount of time and conserving as much memory as can be done. To create good error-free sequence of instructions is also one objective. The values of memory required are definitely not of order 1GB. There are OSes which can be booted in less than 100MB.
