Do you have enough memory on that machine, is swap space activated? The
linking phase will need a lot of memory. Although I don't understand why
ld would terminate with signal 9 then.
When there's not enough memory available, signal 9 is actually how the
system recovers from that, by killing the offending process.
dmesg should have given a clue about what happened in that case.
