The box has ECC RAM, and runs pure zfs.
I don't know what to look out for regarding ECC errors though. There's 
nothing in the console log that looks suspicious.
Also, trying to compile this many times will always trigger the same 
error, that'd make RAM fault unlikely I would have thought (think random 
crashes, the box is rock solid otherwise).

Thanks, will try that!
