[ITK-users] Problem compiling ITK 4.8 on OpenSUSE with gcc 5.1

[Alfonso Castro]

Hi.

I am using OpenSuSE Tumbleweed, it uses gcc 5.1 like system compiler:

Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/5/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-suse-linux

Thread model: posix
gcc version 5.1.1 20150713 [gcc-5-branch revision 225736] (SUSE Linux)

When I try to compile ITK 4.8, gcc gives an error:

[  1%] Building CXX object

I think is provoked for the next message in configuration:

Warning: turning off implicit template instantiation

The curious thing is I use clang (3.6.1), ITK 4.8 compile without a problem 
with the same configuration, the information of the version of clang is:

clang version 3.6.1 (tags/RELEASE_361/final 238133)
Target: x86_64-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
Found candidate GCC installation: /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8

Selected GCC installation: /usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/5

Selected multilib: .;@m64

I am using a directory to build ITK and other for the installation of the 
files. The build directory is empty before the configuration using ccmake 
(3.2.3).

Am I making something wrong? Can I change something to compile ITK 4.8 with 
gcc 5.1?

Also, I'll be very gratefull is someone can explain what makes the option  
ITK_USE_GOLD_LINKER.

Thanks in advance.
