Hard to tell without the actual error. What I suspect happens
is that your bootstrap compiler dies somewhere along the build.

--enable-languages=fortran --disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap 
--enable-stage1-languages=fortran

What I usually do is to use --enable-languages=fortran,c,c++
(possibly with --disable-multilib) and let the whole boostrap
run its course.

On my 8-core machine with "make -j8", this usually takes
less than an hour.

Question: Why are you looking at gcc 6? This is rather old, and
no longer supported. 8.2 is the latest released version.

Regards
