I had a similar experience. I first tried with -j8 on a VM and the
compilation finished (or at least the cmake progress showed 100%) but it
didn't proceed from there. There were 4Gb of ram allocated to this VM so I
suppose it was resource constrained based on other folks' findings. It
stalled for quite some time (~30min) before I killed the job.

So I tried again with -j1 and it failed in the same location has Habs.

Best,
Jason
