This looks like you ran out of memory. Building on Fedora 32 works fine.

That was my first thought too. Monitoring with watch free did not show any problems. It is a VM with 16 GB RAM, and make is running without -j option.

UPDATE: I have no free 7172 GiB :)

Could be a hard drive failure. Try rm -r ./src && git restore ./src (only if you have no changes in ./src that you want to keep!)

Did not help, unfortunately.

Does a fresh clone help? Does a fresh install of the OS help?

No.

Does a fresh install of the OS help?

Yes! Thank you @MarcoFalke!
