It's not a bug in clang if you kill the linker program.

If it wasn't you who killed the linker program, perhaps it was the
out-of-memory killer. You can try to solve the out-of-memory issue:

1. Buy more memory for your computer, or
2. Delete the build directory, create it again, then add
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to the cmake command line, and build again.
Debug builds require more memory, because of the large amount of debug
info. Hopefully the release build will not run into out-of-memory.

Are you using a 32-bit system by any chance?
