I have been attempting to build Drake from source with Bazel on Ubuntu 20.04 but the following error occurs when I run
bazel run //tutorials:mathematical_program
from the Drake root directory:
INFO: Analyzed target //tutorials:mathematical_program (0 packages loaded, 3 targets configured).

I believe you are running out of memory, presumably because bazel runs many jobs in parallel. Can you try bazel run -—jobs=1 //tutorials:mathematical_program and make sure that works? (of course you can try jobs>1 if you like.
