Interesting: it didn't get stuck this time.  That helps me narrow down
the problem a little.  Try again with this modified command, please:

echo 'int main(void) { return 0; }' | (
    cd /mnt/share/Coding &&
    strace -f -tt -o /tmp/cc1.trace timeout 5s \
        /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/15.2.1/cc1 \
        -quiet -v -version -dumpdir test.c- -dumpbase - -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -o test.s -
)

Unfortunately, if I'm right about what's going on, we will soon reach a point
where only they will be able to help any further.
