I had the same issue.

The issue is that probably your virtual memory size is below the requirements for Android build (16G). I am using virtualbox and had the same issue.

I added memory in virtualbox ,yet I could not reach 16G becuase of my host resources, so I also added swap size:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/myswapfile bs=1024 count=16777216
sudo mkswap /myswapfile
sudo swapon /myswapfile 

You can also check available memory (before and after doing all these additions) with:

free -k
