Currently, on GNU/Linux systems, the software are built in the RAM, not on HDD/SSD. This enables less pressure on the hard drives because there are so many files involved, and also slightly speeds up the build.

However, on systems where there is only ~8GB of RAM, GCC will have a problem and won't be able to build! We need to add a step when building GCC to check the free space in RAM and if there isn't enough, it just uses the build directory.

This bug was reported by Zahra Sharbaf.
