This is usually a symptom of insufficient space. 

Use df(1) to check how much space you have. I seem to recall that about
  250M of space is needed to bootstrap the full 2.95.2 distribution. 
  'make bootstrap-lean' will reduce this substantially (I do not recall
  by how much), as will using --enable-languages to specify only the
  langauges you will need.
