With the external cache turned on in the BIOS I can run

#!/bin/sh
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 ; do
for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do
make clean; make zImage >& log.$i$j
done
done

and approx 1 out of every 4 'make zImage's fails with

gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11

and they fail in different spots of course, so I doubt its software
related.

I don't know, man . . . I used to get random occurences of signal 11
using gcc 1.xx to compile the Xlib test suite on SCO Unix on 386
systems years ago. Restart the make and all would be fine.
