There is a similar case where the user mentions that he fixed his issue by "changing the compiler" with no further explanations.

I have the same issue. How do I change the compiler? To what?
Attaching my logs

Can anyone help me with this please?
Hi I am facing similar issue, can you help in providing solution.
Hi Chandra,
Are you facing the exact same issue? If not please create a new Devzone question with your specs and work environment.
The _exit "error" is just an induction that one or serval of the the compiling id failed and is not in it self a cause of worry as it will show the same error when it is successfully building a project.
I included a CMakeError.log from a project that successfully builds.
