I've been seeing those on my laptop (PII-700 in an HP Omnibook 6000).  What 
I did find is that if I disable SSE (options CPU_DISABLE_SSE) then I can 
build without issue.  I haven't had to disable anything else.

Credit for this goes to somebody else on the list (don't remember who) who 
said it worked for them.

  Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
