Actually, if the compile crashes out at different points, that's almost 
a sure sign of a hardware issue, most probably overheating.  If you 
were just running the system as a network router before, that involves 
so little load that you wouldn't stress anything, but building world is 
a good stress test and marginal cooling will show symptoms like what 
you've described.
