This is almost certainly a known problem in the compiler when it runs 
out of memory--how much memory do you have on your machine?

This error is coming from the compiler, so there's nothing that 
build-gnuradio can do about it, however, you can:

  (1) Install more RAM
  (2) Add a secondary swap file.  See, for example:
