Trouble Shooting
The compilation process may be unstable, requiring make to be run multiple times. If you experience such errors try
$ make && sleep 10 && make && sleep 10 && make
xgcc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1)
This error occurs when the cc1 process is killed/terminated. There could be many reasons for termination, not enough system recourses, another process killed cc1 (try killall cc1 from another shell, while make is running to replicate this error…)
This is a rather annoying error, but just keep running make until all the file are compiled.
gcj: internal compiler error: Killed (program jc1)
Again just as with xgcc error, the gcj program was killed/terminated. run make again
