Your virtual machine does not have enough memory to perform the linking phase. Linking is typical the most memory intensive part of a build since it’s where all the object code comes together and is operated on as a whole.
If you can allocate more RAM to the VM then do that. Alternatively you could increase the amount of swap space. I am not that familiar with VMs but I imagine the virtual hard drive you set-up will have a swap partition. If you can make that bigger or allocate a second swap partition that would help.
Increasing the RAM, if only for the duration of your build, is the easiest thing to do though.
