As Colin said, you should try to reduce memory usage by the linker.
Try:
- replacing -g with -g1 or maybe no debug symbols at all;
- disabling caching of symbols tables (-Wl,--no-keep-memory);
- adding -Wl,--reduce-memory-overheads.
- switching to another linker (bfd vs. gold) if none of the above helps.
Usually just using -g1 saves lots of memory.
