Very likely this is the case;
Can you try the same with ./h/hwloc/hwloc-1.5.1-GCC-4.6.3.eb or such,
just to confirm it is some dependency related issue?

btw. Can you make sure you have no other items in your MODULEPATH?
I've seen many times over manually-produced modulefiles to confuse
easybuild (and for a reason!). Just leave only 1 component in it!

Over the years I have built a list of common os packages needed for 
building software commonly desired in scientific computing:
http://hpcbios.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HPCBIOS_2012-90.html
Use judgement with it, eg. it's not really advantageous to bring OpenMPI 
or other such items, if you really intend to build them with easybuild.

That is automatically set to 4 (see easyconfig); use --amemd=parallel=12 to 
override

You are walking the beaten path ;-) here you are, try:
* EASYBUILDBUILDPATH=/dev/shm # or alternatively /tmp

cheers,
