It's most likely flackey memory.
Remember- a single bit that dropps can cause the signal 11. It doesn't have
to happen consistently either. I had the same problem until I slowed down
memory access (that seemd to cover the borderline chip).
The compiler uses different amounts of memory depending on the source file,
number of symbols defined (via include headers). When the multiple passes
occur simultaneously, there is higher memory pressure, and more of the
free space used. One of the pages may flake out. Compiling the kernel
puts more pressure on memory than compiling most applications.
