CRAN version of readr crashes the compiler on small-RAM Ubuntu 16.04 system #544
Description
I'm building a system on a Ubuntu 16.04LTS base. On a 1024 MB (64-bit) virtual machine I get this:
> install.packages("readr")

Warning message:

If I push the RAM up to 1536 MB it compiles. But if I enable two-job "make" it crashes again.
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2) 5.4.0 20160609
This is in a Vagrant box, so I can try various experiments.
