You should look at the config.log to see exactly what was going on when the 
segfault happened.  Maybe you have something wrong with one of the GNU 
autoconf tools?

Otherwise, try running sysutils/memtest for a day or so and see whether it 
provokes your hardware into crashing, in which case you should do the usual-- 
check cooling, swap memory and other components, etc...
