Hi Nizam, The gem5.fast binary by default uses LTO. This optimisation step involves a significant amount of memory and CPU time, although it has improved a lot in later gcc releases. Especially if your build machine only has 8 Gbyte of memory, the LTO step can be very painful for older (<4.9) versions of gcc, as it causes swapping etc.
You can either compile gem5.fast without LTO by adding “--without-lto”, or alternatively upgrade to a more recent version of gcc (or use clang). I hope that helps.

My machine hangs at the link-step. I get this all the time at the link step. Have you faced similar situations in the past? Can you share your remedies that had worked?
