I'm building from source v0.16.0 on Ubuntu 17.10 I cloned the repo, checked out on v0.16.0, ran ./autogen.sh followed by ./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"

the make command however produces the following error:

Makefile:8224: recipe for target 'qt/qt_bitcoin_qt-bitcoin.o' failed
make[2]: *** [qt/qt_bitcoin_qt-bitcoin.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/angelag/src/bitcoin/src'
Makefile:9462: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/angelag/src/bitcoin/src'
Makefile:747: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

from the output of make command the errors started here:
