Building gcc9 toolchain, and also building Clover with it on Catalina should indeed be working now. It works on my system, and I have several other reports that it is working, as long as you start fresh (delete your old toolchain, as I mentioned before, as GMP has to be recompiled). I'm sure others can confirm it is working also with the latest commits from git repository. I think you should check something local at your end. Unclean src, Xcode, something else. Especially as you are saying it is crashing your system when you compile.

I think it may be my hardware end unfortunately, the crash may be due to my Overclock setting profile that i am using, but even though sometimes i managed to not to crash computer during compiling, it still ended up with a failure. And i am using fresh new installed catalina and xcode 11.1 release.

I have recently this issue on Catalina 10.15 with Clover_v2.5k_r5097 sometime my laptop occurs automatically reboot

when I boot again from start this screenshot I captured

I solved this issue with OpenCore bootloader Using this option (Kernel->Quirk->PowerTimeoutKernelPanic=true) on OpenCore 0.5.2

but this (PowerTimeoutKernelPanic=true} option does not exist in clover bootloader

how to fix this issue on Catalina using Clover bootloader

I solved this by disable "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"

thank for reply

yes I already know this trick by disable hard disk to sleep but I want to solve this without disable hard disk to sleep

like OpenCore solved this issue with PowerTimeoutKernelPanic=true

Clover doesn't support that feature yet,, if we see this link below,, maybe @Slice or other can make new fitur for Clover

cant you just add the find and replace as a kernel patch in clover config.plist?
