Ehh, this is a stupid question, but I've had that happen too, and it
turned out my /tmp filesystem was full, and it runs out of space only with
certain large link cases (never anything else, because all the other
stages of compilation are done with -pipe and do not use /tmp files).

I'm embarrassed to even mention this, but I'v ebeen confused myself.
