General compilation of Mesos takes ~2GB per simultaneous job (-j N) being used. In general if you have a host with less than 4GB of ram on it, you probably won't be able to compile Mesos even doing it completely sequentially.
That said, that instance has 15GB of ram, so it shouldn't be an issue unless lots of RAM is being used by various tasks, so it very well might be a bug.
