First: great that it works on one machine!
Now, if you follow precisely the  same steps on a different
machine, which uses the same linux distribution, then this
might either be  Intel vs. AMD problem  (unlikely,
especially during compile, in my opinion), or
some other problem like out of memory (RAM) or out of disk-space?

At what point does the machine freeze?
What does `top` output during the compile (in particular:
CPU usage, memory usage, swap)?

You might be able to ge a hint by running the make comand via
  make | tee log_make_digikam.txt

This will output the messages both on screen and in the file.
If it hangs again, you could at least see the place until
which  the make got in the log file.

Good luck!
