RISC jumps have a limited range. Since GRUB uses heap to load modules,
it uses only a minor part of memory

hints are only a performance improvement. It wasn't intended as a bug
fix for anything.
I thought that Out-of-memory problem was caused by at attempt to init
graphical subsystem. Are you sure that hints is the only difference? In
particular check following points:
- path to unicode.pf2
- absence of insmod ieee1275_fb
- used terminal_output
