Nevermind. Maybe this is just trying to use more memory than available. My single-cpu system had 16 GB of RAM and some swap. Monitoring Committed_AS in /proc/meminfo tells me it was trying to allocate 18 GB of RAM. On systems with 2 CPUs, I know that it tries to allocate 27 GB of RAM. This is a problem not only for buildd.debian.org but also for anybody trying to do QA. I see the package is blacklisted here: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/acl2.html I guess reproducible-builds people would definitely prefer not having to blacklist it. Thanks.
