Hello Tomas,
I have not looked at he logs, but errors from ancient linkers (such as your systems /usr/bin/ld) with modern gcc compilers usually mean that the "binutils" package is too old.
If you can I would check if the output of "module avail" has any likely looking module (eg binutils or ld or so) and load that one.
Alternatively, you can use a (slightly) older gcc. Actually anything starting from gcc 4.9 should do (just not 4.8). I know for a fact that the toolkit compiles with eg gcc 6.3 which may be old enough for your linker.
Yours, Roland
sorry, here are my logs

I see, thank you, Roland!
I loaded the gcc module and I'm not getting that error anymore. However, there is now another error related to dwarf
/usr/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: found dwarf version '7424', this reader only handles version 2, 3 and 4 information.

Googling a bit, it seems that this can be solved specifying some compilation flags correctly, but I don't have enough experience to do it.
Have you seen this behaviour before?
thanks! Tomas

Hello Tomas,
thank you Roland for your super quick response!
If I do 'module avail', I see that the default gcc compiler is gcc/11.1 (the earliest version being gcc/8.2), do you know why the build could
take
another version?
The one marked "default" is the default one when using modules, ie if you do (schematically):
module load gcc
it will load gcc/11.1.
However you must use "module load gcc", if you do nothing at all, then your compile will use the system installed gcc compiler (from the RedHat Linux base system) in /usr/bin.
Yours, Roland
