This is covered in the FAQ.  In most cases, it's a sign of hardware
problems (usually bad memory).

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#SIGNAL11

Can you complete an entire buildworld (cd /usr/src && make buildworld)
without sig11?  If so, it may in fact be a compiler bug, but I'm
doubting it.
