On smaller systems (with 1GB or even 512MB of RAM), it sometimes happens the ram is just full. 
LD is one of the most memory hungry steps of the compile.
This can be seen in dmegs, then you might see messages like out-of-memory process killer.

In that case, you can extend the ram with a swapfile.

Hope this helps,
