I believe this is a resource issue on the system I use to build Fedora 38 packages. Feel free to hold off on trying to debug this. I changed the physical memory on the build VM from 4Gb to 12Gb and that seems to have made a difference.

Fwiw, 5.0.9 is building fine on Fedora 38 over here. I'm noticing that the build is riddled with warnings, though. We're unlikely to iterate on this unless there's an outright build failure, since the 5.0 release train is about to end as we release 6.0.

Yes, it is. Spicy requires quite a bit of memory to build. We're seeing ~2-3GB/CPU in order to guarantee it doesn't fail. If you're going to use a system that small, you're going to have to cut down on the number of jobs you're asking Make/Ninja to run.

We probably ought to add a note to the docs to indicate that this a resource constraint if you build with spicy included (which is now the default).

I'm going to close this issue since the above is most likely your problem. Feel free to reopen if it's something more than that.
