Thanks Andriy!

This HARDWARE ERROR didn't help me much at first, but after further Internet
searches and the knowledge of high speed processor timings from a previous job
I had, I happen to find a nice workaround for this problem.  Indeed, it's
hardware related, but IMO, the software should be more helpful to flag the
solution.

When I purchased my computer just a few months back, I went through all the
nice BIOS options offered to me.  Without going to the extremes, I accepted the
(modest) boost features that were offered to me.  My FreeBSD is stored on an
M.2 SSD drive, so I suspected that there could possibly exist a timing issue on
the bus when signals are exchanged between the CPU, the DRAM and the SRAM.

So, I disabled any BIOS settings related to cache prefetch and CPU boost. 
Everything now seems to run smoothly because I was able to build all the ports
that I had problems with earlier.

Thanks again!  I'm a happy FreeBSD camper again!

Dominique.
