Every now and then a build will fail on travis during compilation with the error message:
g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs for instructions.
make[2]: * [CMakeFiles/run_elm_unittests.dir/modules/elm/layers/test/triangulation_unittests.cpp.o] Error 4
make[2]: * Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: * [CMakeFiles/run_elm_unittests.dir/all] Error 2
make: * [all] Error 2
Sometimes repeating the build once or twice resolves this.
This seems to be due to g++ hitting the memory limits of the 3 GB Travis VM.
I've tried adding "--param ggc-min-expand=3 --param ggc-min-heapsize=5120" to the CXX_FLAGS, to trigger garbage collection more frequently, but don't think it helped much. More frequent triggering by increasing the value for ggc-min-expand slows down the process so much it leads to the build timing out.

The issue is addressed in Travis CI issue #1972
