→Wrapping things up
So I ran the build command again and the build process picked up from where it ended. I concluded that it really was due to lack of memory. This problem continued to occur several times after (each time at different points of the code, but with the same error code).
Slowly, I approached the final goal. Unexpectedly, the last linking part crashes the keeps crashing my terminal window so I couldn't proceed further.
Since Gnome probably sucks up enough memory by itself, I decided to switch to console mode (I know, why didn't I think about it before?). After I did that, I stopped killed both the Gnome Display Manager (gdm) and VMWare (since it was running as well).
I crossed my fingers and started building again. And it finally completed sucessfully. Phew!
