This seems to be a symptom either of a misbuild or a misinstall.  When
you finished the build, it will have printed out something along the
lines of "... build finished successfully (including X out of Y
contributed modules)."  It would be good to know what X and Y were,
and if either X or Y is less than 13, why.

Not at present, to either question (tunable heap size and
heap-exhaustion detection).
