Seems similar to this report:

This seems new, what is your host?

"File truncated" reminds me out-of-space issues.

FWIW sometimes I'm having some weird issue when calling "make
check-tcg". Docker is used to build target binaries, but apparently it
tries to compile some host object instead and fails, but I don't reach
the linking.
Just to clear this out, do you see any docker started?
