[Build] /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: memory exhausted

Describe the issue

Unable to build onnxruntime on ubuntu 22 for armv7.
During the last failed build I had 16GB of swap. Now I've doubled it.

#free
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available

Typically building the main unit tests (onnxruntime_test_all) takes a huge amount of memory to link. You could try adding --skip_tests --cmake_extra_defines=onnxruntime_BUILD_UNIT_TESTS=OFF to avoid that.

Thank you! I'm trying it now.

Use cross-compiling please. A 32-bit process can only use at most 2GB memory, which is not enough for a modern compiler.

BUILD_UNIT_TESTS=OFF helped.
But now I've got another error related to numpy as described in a closed issue #21145 .
