If the compile were to fail in the same place, every time, there would be a 
chance that it might be a problem with the source code.

However, if the compile fails in different places-- which is your case-- 
that's almost certainly a hardware problem such as your system overheating 
under load, a marginal power supply, or bad RAM.  Check your CPU fan and other 
cooling, and try running memtest.org's checker overnight and see what that 
gives....
