In all probability it's really out.  Remember that RAM allocation has to
either come from physical RAM or swap.  If the requested allocation
cannot be made then you get this exact situation, and it happens quickly
enough that you won't see it most of the time with monitoring tools.

What's probably biting you is temporary file space, which comes from RAM
since it's mounted on a ramdisk, and exhausts it.  I've run into this
same situation trying to build on a Pi2.

My recommendation? Connect a USB disk drive to the system and put a swap
partition on there. Or cross-compile (which is what I do) on a nice big
AMD64 box since that is MUCH faster.
