[Bug 1853771] [NEW] GCC Building LLVM causes the entire computer to freeze, forcing me to reboot.

[Seija Kijin]

Public bug reported:

Whenever I attempt to build LLVM using profiling with GCC, by the time
make reaches 100% and continuing to build the tests, the entire computer
freezes, with the hard drive moving and fans blaring, ever single time.

This issue occurs by performing the following:
Prerequisite: Have cmake 3.15.5 nstalled
1. Download LLVM-project 8.0.1
2. Open terminal, and create a build folder in the LLVM project source directory
3. Enter that build folder, and using cmake, create Unix Makefiles, via this command, "cmake -DLLVM_BUILD_INSTRUMENTED=IR -DLLVM_BUILD_RUNTIME=No -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Unix Makefiles" ../llvm"
4. Type "make -j8 all CFLAGS='-flto -O3 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -fbranch-probabilities -fprofile-abs-path' CXXFLAGS='-flto -O3 -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage -fbranch-probabilities -fprofile-abs-path" and press Enter

When the build reaches 100%, notice how the machine freezes and forces
the user to restart

Expected Results:
gcc compiles the tests and product files without issue.

Actual Results:
GCC freezes and causes the entire computer to freeze up.
