It's definitely memory exhaustion. Linux sends SIGKILL to processes when memory is exhausted; there are detailed diagnostics in the kernel message log, displayed by the 'dmesg' command. Building Rakudo requires quite a bit of memory (it varies quite a bit from release to release, I've seen a range of 400MB to 2000MB). Actually the most memory-intensive stage is src/gen/core.pir. Failure during grammar.pir indicates that you are *well* below the minimum requirement. Are you trying to build this on a 128MB VM slice or something? -sorear
