I've seen this happen with other programs when the system runs out of memory. Maybe monitor your memory/swap while compiling. I'm sure DM will be along with a better answer but in the meantime, it's a place to start.

The error is in a failure to build libmozjs (aka SpiderMonkey), the Mozilla JavaScript engine - a 3rd party component, not Synchronet itself.

Like Nelgin suggested, this is likely an external/environmental problem (disk space, memory?) and nothing to do with Synchronet.
