ERROR while compiling ocaml-base-compiler 5.2.0 SEGMENTATION FAULT

[PabloBenario]

Can someone please help me? I have tried everything and I keep getting a segfault. I've tried doing it with 1 jobs but it doesnt matter. I dont get any problems while installing older versions of the compiler like 4.08.1, but this one always give me this error.

NOTE: I'm running this command on my virtual machine. The host is an M3 mac. And the guest being EMULATED is: Linux pablo-xubuntu 5.15.0-122-generic #132~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 30 15:50:07 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I suggest posting on https://discuss.ocaml.org/, and perhaps filing an issue with https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml . I'm afraid this is not an issues we can solve at the package repository level.
