perhaps this is a hardware fault. Have a look at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ . This FAQ describes what the possible causes are
for an effect that bothers lots of people lately. Namely that a linux(*)-kernel
(or any other large package for that matter) compile crashes with a "signal
11". The cause can be software or (most likely) hardware.
