Do you have any memory problems on your PC? It seems that the make application has trouble allocating memory.

It's not a problem with the PC's memory.
Those errors come from old cygwin package which is used in NIOS II IDE and which is not compatible with Windows 7. I saw those errors sometimes and typically I just had to start the build again and everything went fine.
One thing that might help is to run NIOS II IDE with "Run as Administrator" option. Right-click NIOS II IDE icon and select "Run as Administrator" command.
And you could also try running NIOS II IDE with Compatibility mode set to Windows Vista or XP (right-click NIOS II IDE icon, select Properties and view Compatibility page for options).
You might also want to upgrade to NIOS 9.1 version (although even that version is not compatible with Windows 7).
