Not sure what that is; it looks like it's getting printed by
fontforge, which is outline tracing the bitmap fonts produced by
metafont. Tracing is a CPU and memory intensive process. It wouldn't
surprise me if these are malloc failures or some other problem in
fontforge. So my suggestion is to ask the fontforge maintainer why it
might be printing that.
The newer versions of lilypond have a better build system; instead of
building the fonts this way on every build (which is indeed icky), the
fonts are split off into a separate package.
