Thank You all for the hints. Thanks to Marcus, Sid, Bob!

Yes, it works now! I think, the observation from Sid was the way of  
success.  
So the reason was: too low (1GB!) RAM for the VM!

After increase up to e.g. 3,5 GB RAM for the VM the buildscript.sh gave  
no errors anymore.

Thanks in advance

May be it is already done, but If not, I recommend a recommendation in  
the wiki “Build from source”:

Use a lot of RAM and / or swap best to avoid a quiet termination of  
compiling gnuradio.

Or if building on low memory systems like ARM, specify 4GB of swap.
