Probably the OOM killer.  Chrome takes a very large amount of memory to link.
You can add some swap, or trade a lot of link-time memory for a little startup
delay by building shared.  You can do that by putting this in your 
~/.gyp/include.gypi:
{'variables': {
    'library': 'shared_library',
}}

  Good luck,  -- Jacob
