Compiler/CODECOMPOSER: CCS freeze when building project on AMD Ryzen 1600x

When I build a project in CCS on Ubuntu 16.04 with the TI v16.9.4.LTS compiler, things freeze. It will hang until compilation finishes.

Could you provide few more details? 

- How long does it hang? Does it lock up the PC or just CCS, or just slow things down?
- Does this happen when building any project? Or just specific ones that are perhaps large/take a long time to build?
- Is anything getting printed to the CCS console during the hang? (ie) is the build process actually continuing or does it appear to be stalled?

Please also take a look at this recent post that has some tips for narrowing down these types of problems. Many times it is one or more source files in the project that contribute to the long build time. That thread provides ideas on how to narrow that down.
