Then the likely issue is a change to b2 that defaults to using parallel
jobs to match the available system cores and launches so many compile
commands that it runs out of memory. It seems most container virtualization
systems are terrible at virtualizing the system information and leak the
host information. Only immediate option is to pass b2 an appropriate "-jN"
option. Or wait until I fix the problem (I already tried one solution, will
keep trying).
