I tried to update the gcc on my armv7 NAS. I'm far away to understand the error message:

The used cflags are the extracted march=native flags.

The "Killed" line strongly suggests you ran out of memory, can you check dmesg to look for oom-killer activity?

Thanks, you were completely right.

My NAS has only 512 mb RAM. So I added a swapfile of 8 GB for compiling gcc and it worked.
