Well, some programs give a clear error when they need more RAM and the
user buys the RAM or changes their virtual machine settings

In this case, two things went wrong:

a) the g++ output was really obscure, no suggestion that it was a RAM
problem

b) the output of every second g++ invocation is redirected to /dev/null
by libtool, so the error doesn't always appear at all
