Building of GCC now only done when /dev/shm has more than 10GB free
Until now, like all software on GNU/Linux systems GCC would be built in RAM
(to speed up the build slightly and also not put too much stress on the
HDDs/SSDs). But some systems don't have enough RAM for building GCC and
will complain and crash.
With this commit, we have added a check on the amount of free space in the
`build_tmp' directory (which will be `/dev/shm' on GNU/Linux systems). If
the amount of free space isn't more than 10GB, then GCC won't be built
there and a temporary directory will be built under the `$(BDIR)/software'
directory for it.
This bug was found by Zahra Sharbaf.
This fixes bug #57853.
