This error appears to be from the BDW garbage collector [0]. Are you sure it works on Linux on Alpha? The docs refer to a missing file, README.alpha, and the source has exciting comments like “untested but hopefully should work on Linux/Alpha.” What’s going on here might be an mmap or sbrk failure. You could try stracing that step of the build to see what the last system call it makes is.
