"Internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)" almost always
indicates that the compiler-proper ran the computer out of memory and
triggered the OOM killer. Perhaps you should file a bug on GCC asking
for the driver to mention this possibility when it detects that the
compiler-proper has received a SIGKILL.
Perhaps you should also file a bug on libtool asking for it to
suppress compiler output with -w instead of redirecting it to
/dev/null (at least, when it knows it's driving GCC). In the
alternative, perhaps you should develop some Automake extensions that
would *finally* allow us to take libtool out back and shoot it.
