A last tip, if ServerAliveInterval does not work as expected:

$ ssh -l <user> <host>
$ gccCompilation > /tmp/gccCompilation.log 2>&1 < /dev/null

At this point, it would be possible to exit from the ssh session with
"exit" or CTRL+D. Yo only must to guaranteed this process will not
output anything to stdout, and will not read anything from stdin.
