Are you suggesting that the build error above can also be an
out-of-memory issue?  Did “dmesg” show anything mentioning OOM?

These C++ code bases (WebKit, LibreOffice, etc.) usually require a lot
of RAM to build, so it could be that your machine simply doesn’t have
enough RAM.

AFAICS it builds fine on Hydra:

but not in 32 bit:
