Note that using a very old version of a software does not necessarily
imply using a software that consume less system resources.

Some softwares was at first almost not optimized. For instance, if you
would like a "light" mozilla, you shouldn't try a version before
1.0.0.

Can someone who used an  mc version < 4.1.35 can confirm that mc was
using less memory than now?

Aside from that, maybe deactivating almost all at ./configure step may
help.
