fraction of a second).
I don't know what is the cause of the hang.. I can tell that while
it is hung,
the cpu is not working (gcc doesn't even show in top..).
It's waiting on I/O. This delay is either network related or a disk is
going to die. It almost certainly isn't a gcc bug.
Thank you. Any idea how can I further scrutinize this ?
You need to know whether it's waiting for disk or network; I can't help you
with that. Then you need to think about smartd reporting or somesuch.
Oh, and strace.
